Absolutely, if you turn on and off a light switch while listening an AM radio (even static) you would hear it through your speaker, as in this demonstration [1] (it worth watching the whole video if you are interested). [1] [VIDEO]
A slightly comical animated look at Edwin Armstrong's invention of FM radio can be seen as part of Tim Hunkin's "The Secret Life of the Radio": [VIDEO] It's split into two parts, with the second part later in the same video, here: [VIDEO]
This is the "Take Five" variant by Val Bennett, "The Russians Are Coming", used in the show Secret Life of Machines (awesome series, now freely/legally posted on YT): * [VIDEO] * [LINK] * [LINK]
also nicely covered in the Secret Life of Radio in context of the development of radio communication. [VIDEO]
Tim Hunkin has posted a remastered version of his "The Secret Life of the Radio" TV program (from 1987) which recreates some of Hertz and Marconi's experiments with spark gaps and coherers. [VIDEO]
