Hello Tarik,

Bill R's list of suggestions is definitely the 'book' on this, but 
one thing i did over the years, in audio ground loop situations, 
mostly, was this: There are probably a limited number of actual wall 
jacks that your system and other electronic devices are using. So, 
unless all of your plugs [that jack into the wall sockets] are 
'one-way', meaning one jack is much larger than the other, of each 
pair, you can unplug one and plug it in the other way. This can 
reverse ground on the main device and anything connected to it. A 
ground 'loop' causes hum in audio gear [usually in the area of 60 
cycles], and static in other home gear. You might try it.
