The two main features of the Aharonov-Bohm effect are the topological dependence of accumulated phase on the winding number around the magnetic fluxon, and non-locality -- local observations at any intermediate point along the trajectories are not affected by the fluxon. The latter property is usually regarded as exclusive to quantum mechanics. Here we show that both the topological and non-local features of the Aharonov-Bohm effect can be manifested in a classical model that incorporates random noise. The model also suggests new types of multi-particle topological non-local effects which have no quantum analog.
