Could it be that you were on 60Hz AC at the times? That is near enough to produce something called a "Schwebung" when artificial lighting is used. Especially when using flourescent lamps like they were common in offices. They need to be "phasenkompensiert" (phase compensated?/balanced), meaning they have to be on a different phase of the mains electricity, than the computer screens are on. Otherwise even not so sensitive people notice that as interference/sort of flickering. Happens less when you are on 50Hz AC, and the screens run at 60Hz, but with flourescents on the same phase it can still be noticeable.
