It could be a ton of things, honestly. Baby monitors, any sort of wireless automation in your house or neighbors houses

Okay, enough ballbusting.

This is the correct answer. ANYTHING new in the house that is constantly powered could be the source of the interference. It doesn't necessarily have to transmit on the same frequency as the key fob (though a device designed to transmit on the same frequency is a likely culprit), but it does have to be constantly powered to cause constant interference if it's stray RF.

A VERY rough way to run it down is to move a vehicle around the house and test how well the key fob works, moving toward and from the vehicle and gauging how much interference there is. Your culprit is going to be nearer the spots where the fobs perform the worst. This method will also be affected by the exterior walls of your house, so it's entirely possible that you get no result at all because the walls block the interference where the interior garage walls don't.
