HI I've been there--
Any device that has a remote control or a clock shall be suspect.
I have a 19 in RCA tv in the bedroom, I traced the noise all over 
the house- the tv was the culprit, the separate power supply for the
 remote rx.. I have "sniffed" around here and 
found other sources such as the battery charger for the cell phone 
and an old garage door rx.
Anything may be suspect.
        To drastic - when all else fails use your sniffer radio and
 turn off the main breaker at the power panel, yes I know that you 
will have to reset all of the damn flashing digital clocks!
Then if it does not go away look at the neighbors stuff.
have fun with this ..
