Octasound Sound System iPhone Airplane Mode Interference

Hey,

So, I'm basically the local "IT dude" for my high school and today I encountered a problem with our Octasound Sound System when we were setting up for a pageant in our gymnasium.
Basically at some points when an audio is being played from an iPhone through an aux cord there would be the occurrence of loud distortion in the audio through the speakers. After toying with it we found out that it doesn't happen when Airplane mode is on the iphone.

I'm curious why this may be happening and I have no idea personally why it is.

If it doesn't happen when airplane mode is on, it's probably something to do with WiFi or LTE interference with the sound system. Have you tried playing audio when just WiFi or just LTE is turned on?

No we haven't we only tried with airplane on and off. We will play around more with that later today though.
