When it comes to EVP’s (electronic voice phenomenon); skeptics only have 2 arguments / explanations about the recordings.
1. Cross-Modulation – One or more unwanted signals such as stray radio frequencies finding its way into the recording.
2. Pareidolia – Misperception of sound in random noise

With regard to Paredolia, Apophenia, Simulacrum, Confabulation, Hyper-Reality or any other aspect of the human condition, the best we can ever do is to be aware of these situations and not let our hopes or fears distort our perception.
However…on the techie side of the equation, we can use scientific principles to help reduce Cross-Modulation in our recordings.
Back at the dawn of this phenomena, EVP experiments conducted in a “screened room” helped to remove most of the doubts associated with Cross-Modulation.
