Help Static Noise From Speaker

Dear Sir,

I am currently using a power protector for PC on which all of the equipment's AC cables are pluged. Just lastnight, I pluged a halogen lamp(viz., Dana Counter-Balanced Halogen Desk Lamp from Staples) on the same power protector. Interestingly, as I turn on/off the lamp, I get unpleasant static noise from my tweeters.

My questions are:

1) Is it possible for a halogen lamp to cause static noise?

2) If yes for question 1)., which equipment is it actually reacting with the lamp(cdp, int.amp., or speakers)?

3) Lastly, is the noise harmful to speakers?

Any response is welcome.
regards,

Sincerely,
ipous

1) Yes, absolutely.

2) You've got static noise, so it doesn't matter which component(s) are reacting with the lamp. You need to simply NOT use the lamp when listening to your music .

3) No, if it is not high in volume.
