Do you know in what emergency procedure you say 'Stop Buzzer'

Not to worry if you aren't flying in the US, but if you are....

"Advising ATC of a GPS-jamming emergency
Pilots who encounter an interruption of GPS navigation that affects flight safety or who have related flight-control issues can say the phrase “Stop buzzer” to air traffic control. That phraseology should initiate the process of interrupting the testing to restore navigation signal reception.
During previous GPS-interference events, pilots declared emergencies, but the jamming continued because ATC did not understand that the emergency was related to the GPS interference. According to the Pilot/Controller Glossary, “Stop buzzer” is a term used by ATC to request suspension of “electronic attack activity.” Pilots should only use the phrase when communicating with ATC, or over the emergency frequency 121.5 MHz, if a safety-of-flight issue is encountered during a known GPS interference event. They should make ATC understand that they face a GPS-related emergency, and that halting the GPS interference will resolve it."
