Narrative:
From over csn VOR when switched from washington center to washington approach (frequency 124.0) all the way to 20 NM southeast of bwi when switched to baltimore approach, there was a constant bleed through of another approach control sector's radio xmissions. Both from other aircraft and the controller. We were unable to determine what control sector it was, but it was very confusing for us and several other aircraft. This has occurred on numerous occasions besides last night.
