If you have made SURE that all appliances, wall warts, clocks, t-v sets
(should be unplugged), cable boxes, etc are unplugged, see if your DOOR BELL
transformer is on that circuit.  They can go bad.  I have also heard that
bad GFI units can cause similar issues. Good luck...  - Mike

If you have a portable AM radio, use it as a sniffer to locate the source of

the noise.  The ferrite rod antennas are fairly directional.  It's not 
uncommon to have other areas of the house tapped into a circuit that is 
primarily for one room.  Anything outside that you haven't unplugged?
