Ok, line noise seems to be what you're asking about here. Whenever a signal passes through a wire, cable or even through the air (as in wireless), there is always an opportunity for noise to be introduced into the original signal. All noise an additional signal that's present at or near that wire, cable, etc. anywhere along its length. This noise is basically 'added' to the original signal and you get a combination of the two signals at the other end of the connection. The second signal could be an actual good signal (as in a second conversation over a phone line) that 'bleeds' a bit over onto the wire that is carrying your conversation, or it might be something like interference introduced by a microwave source (an large antenna, a microwave oven, etc.). Just having a wire, cable or wireless signal pass by or through a motor could introduce a lot of noise to the original signal. The result is a signal that is degraded, sometimes to the point where the original signal is far overshadowed by the volume of the noise itself.
