From my experience, narrow band, constant transmitter, at the start of the 2,4 Ghz spectrum is almost always a combined PIR and Microwave sensor (either for lights or building alarm systems). But I have seen lots of interesting stuff in 2,4Ghz Trafos from lightfixtures, leaking displayport cables (that was a new one). Things it is not: Bluetooth, Microwave oven, and it does not look modulated or wide enough for it to be a analogue video camera or cordless phone (but you never know, the resolution of the build in "spectrum analyzer" is not great). As other people mentions, if possible, try to get your hands on a WiFi spectrum analyzer (or borrow one from your local friendly WiFi consultant. I mean, clearly everyone of "those guys" have at least one in their inventory 🙂 ) Regarding the picture, it looks like the noise is really close, its above -40dbm. So either the AP is almost right next to the thing that is making the noise, or the thing that is making the noise has a fairly high transmit power. Just my thoughts.
