Speakers dont need to have any power nor any connections to cause the cellphone hum. Its the electromagnetic waves emmited from the cellphone that cause the hum. Also, cellphones communicate with towers/GSM satellites very systematically, and like you described, on equal increments. Also, it doesnt have to be speakers. It can be any object that can produce sound (ie...headphones, TV, alarm clock, flourescent lamp/desklight, cordless phone, etc) Check again.
P.S. To eliminate the cell phone scenario, do this. Leave everything in your room the way you usually have it. Make sure the hum is present. Have someone else in the house (or if you have a cordless phone, you can do it) call your cellphone. See if the pattern of the humming changes. If it does, you found your problem.
P.P.S What kind of cellphone do you have (IDEN, GSM, or TDMA?)

My stupid razor affects just about EVERY electronic device I have. Great phone but worst phone when it comes to disrupting other things.

Stop using a vibrator 
Could it be a bug/fly/moth buzzing around a light?
Faulty flourescent light?
Faulty washer in a toilet (or possibly hot water system?) causing a little bit of hammering in the pipes after the water fills up?
While we are at it.....
my gas lift chair causes my pc speakers to emite a couple of little "pop" sounds when I get off the chair (no they are not connected together)

I live near an airport. When the planes fly right overhead my computer speakers pick up the communications (they aren't even connected to a computer anymore). Yes that's right my speakers pick up the radio communications without even being powered. Weird, but I'm used to it. Any speaker can do this or even a microphone can do this. Well it can make noise from interference.
