Add ground rods, add a noise filter on the power cord.. What I would do is go to the breaker box outside and kill everything but the radio stuff.
Then you will know if its in your house. |

Doggie619 Had this problem in the past, hope this will help you.
Check everything in the house, Shut it off. Flourecent lights is a bad one.
Process of elimination sort of speak.
Also check grounding in Fuse box , to make shur they are tight.NOTE electricity can kill you so if you doint know what your doing call your local electric company they will help you!
The last time i had this problem was in the fuse box. The ground in my radio room was loose.
I hope this help you!

Comes and goes?
First, make sure the Amp is off and elimnate it as a source.
Start hitting breakers in different parts of the house, and tru to isolate the source of the noise.
If it is intermittent, it almost has to be something like a freezer, refrigerator, or heat/ac unit? Dryer/Washer?, usually something with a motor that would radiate an E/H field.
When this happened to me, I had a bad ground at the fuse box, it appeared good at DC but was still not effective.
Mine was the refrierator the compressor was emmitting the noise. I put a really good surge surpressor/ground with a bandpass filter on the power box -8 feet of new ground rod close to the box, and it quit.
These problems are often hard to track down. |

A security light 100 feet away would emit a noise every time it came on and it would shut off and come on all night,yuk,then the owner changed the bulb,voila no more problem.Bigbob |
