Cactus Music: I ordered the usb cable with ferrite choke. Thanks! And when the electrician did the GFCI outlets, he used that very tester to see if it was grounded. So I guess I just answered the question. metteus: We remodeled the kitchen and bathrooms before we moved in, and all those rooms are grounded. We just didn't have the extra money to rewire the entire house.

I was playing a song back, and 1 monitor just cut out....then the other one cut out. After a couple of seconds, they both came back on and seem fine. Nothing wrong in the connections that I noticed. I've never had that happen before. Any suggestions as to what may have caused it (so it doesn't happen again)? Thanks! Greg

I was told the wire coming into the house was an antenna for a ham radio. Before we moved in, we had the breaker box redone, so it's no longer a fuse panel. as for the GFCI, we had an electrician do it simply because the outlets had only two prongs. I needed something with 3. And we cannot afford $10,000 + to rewire this house right now. So GFCI was the only alternative for the moment. I don't notice any difference with appliances being off or on - at least i haven't yet.

This house didn't have third ground prongs. We had an electrician install GFCI outlets. We couldn't afford to re-wire the house, so GFCI outlets will have to do for now. And yeah, I guess I'll find other issues and what may be causing them as I try to record. I'm trying to do what comments have suggested. Thanks!

I plugged the power cords into one power conditioner, except for the computer and visual monitors They're in a different one. It helped a little - and a little is good. Thanks!

The internet router is in my room. Would that be an issue? Not sure I can change that though.

Ok. Thanks. Just old. I noticed that the wire hanging out of my window going outside comes into my room and goes nowhere. So I have to get rid of it. Chuck E Baby: Thanks for your advice. I will check everything. Thanks, everyone! Greg

I use 2 power conditioners because of all the cords, so I can't put everyone on one plug. There's only a couple of plugs in the room. We just moved into this house. And outside my window there is a wire going into the house that was cut off and is just hanging outside. When a leaf blower gets too close, a lot of noise comes through the monitors. So I know I have to get rid of that wire. But even when there is nothing going on outside, there is still static noise that comes through the monitors and headphones. Tezza: It's a desktop. I will check the wires and cables. msmcleod: I may try a ground loop. Thanks! And i'm using a Scarlett 2i4 Chuck E Baby: Currently my wifi isn't working. No internet connection with my recording computer. Thanks for everyone's comments! I appreciate it! I will try and see what works.

I have electrical noise that comes through the monitors a little, but more through the headphones. What do you do to get rid of the electrical house noise issue?
