Slightly off the Generac topic, taking a circuit off line at the breaker does not ALWAYS identify that circuit as the culprit. Remember house wiring is also an antenna and you might just be separating that superior antenna from other wiring. Something to remember if you can’t trace the noise to a device on that particular circuit.
