Our phone (5.8ghz) have a room monitor built in, so if I need to listen to
my son (now 5) sleeping I can just leave one phone in his room and take
another one around with me and listen to his every breath.

Seems like it wouldn't be to hard to hook a mic upto a fm transmitter
then you could listen anywhere in the house. I know spy shops sell many
of those items.

One possible cheapie solution is to put a bit of clear tape over the
microphone. What you are probably hearing is the sound of ambient air
hitting the electret mic - they are typically amped way up there to make
them more sensitive. Tape over the hole deadens the effect of random air
gusts but lets the audible sounds through.

try turning off other electronic devces in the area to attempt to
pinpoint the offender asnd walk around with the receiver to do the
same...

you might be able to relocate the offender...

If you have a noisy baby monitor, you probably bought the right thing.
This are designed for noisy babies. Still, you may be able to adjust
the automatic volume control on your baby. On most models, there are
several adjustments in the belly button compartment.
