That's usually caused by the expulsion of vast quantities of hot air ;-)
I once hooked an audio spectrum analyzer to an FM radio.  You could almost always see 15734 Hz and/or 15625 Hz tones in all the songs that they played.  There were quite a few songs that obviously had parts recorded in the US and others in Europe.  Not a good idea to put TV monitors in a recording studio booth.  Maybe things have improved since the advent of LCD monitors...


when the guy at the station talks, there are strong components below 100Hz

I should have commented on this earlier.  I have lost track of who said,

"when the guy at the station talks, there are strong components below
100Hz."

This was in reference to call in talk shows.  The guy at the station is
speaking into a regular broadcast quality microphone.  The microphone signal
is taken from an aux output of the board and fed to the phone line through a
hybrid transformer.  The signal from the phone line is fed to the board and
the show host hears it in his headphones.  Most people have the mistaken
image of the host sitting there holding a telephone handset to his ear.  The
host's bandwidth is not limited by the telephone system but the caller's is.
