How did the music get into the transmission?
In Stranger Things Series 3 episodes 1 and 2 the characters are dealing with a radio transmission.
They identify the source of the transmission from the music included in the audio.
That source is the mall, specifically the ride-along-horse.
How does the music from there into the transmission?
We are shown the radio room is a long way from the shopping part of the mall later in the series.
There is no mention of any microphones or surveillance of the area.
Best Answer
I don't recall anything explicitly said during the show about that (and questioned it myself). I have two theories; both rely on the fact that the transmission was detected on Dustins "Cerebro"
1.) The transmission intercepted two separate messages concurrently
It was shown in S3E7 that there were Russians patrolling the mall. We had seen them communicating via their radios. It's entirely possible that Dustin happened to record the message at a time when they were broadcasting the encrypted message and communicating normally. This would explain some overlap at the end of the message.
2.) The Cerebro picked up some form of interference
Since the Cerebro isn't well explained, it's fairly reasonable to assume it might be picking up some type of interference from the Indiana Flyer ride. This seems less plausible as I'd imagine any other form of radio would be liable to give interference if this were true.

What does transmission mean in music?
In order for any musical tradition to thrive over time music must be learned shared and passed on. This process of musical communication from person to person and generation to generation is known as transmission. MARK SLOBIN: Musical transmission means learning and teaching music.How are musical transmissions learned?
1. Transmission refers to the passing on of tradition. The process of learning one's cultural traditions is called enculturation, and this goes on informally from the time a person is born. Musical enculturation includes the sum total of a person's informal musical experience.What do we call the practice of passing down musical traditions through the process of mimicking another musician?
Playing or learning by ear is the ability of a performing musician to reproduce a piece of music they have heard, without having seen it notated in any form of sheet music.More answers regarding how did the music get into the transmission?
Answer 2
Another user had a question about the Russians' Motives in Hawkins
In my answer, I make reference to the coded message that was interpreted by Dustin, Robin (and Steve, I suppose). Based on the information that they receive about the delivery companies, the food courts, I surmised that they were coordinating above ground where the portal would be.
If the Russian security guards were operating after-hours, they would have free reign of the mall and could walk around. Should they happen to walk by the Indiana Flyer ride when it plays a sample of its enticing music to lure kids for a ride (as mall coin-operated ride would routinely repeatedly and periodically do), it's conceivable that their walkie-talkies picked up this sound and transmitted to Cerebro.
