Another possibility - if you are hearing things from your cell phone through your speaker, you might need to update your bluetooth driver on your cell phone. I'd try that first, if you haven't done it already.

A third possibility - you have a legacy cell phone with old bluetooth technology that has been replaced and can't "update". The solution for that would be to get a newer cell phone with current bluetooth technology. That'd be the most expensive option and a last resort.

If the interference is always happening at the same location, it could be powerline interference. Every year I attend a festival that is wired up for the festival. During the festival, my bluetooth headphones crap out with interference (even during my early morning walk when there are no others around). After the festival they remove all the temporary wiring and my headphones work fine.
So yeah - like I said. It might just need updated drivers. Or an old phone with old bluetooth tech needs to be replaced with a newer phone with updated bluetooth tech.
