[TowerTalk] serious noise problem

[James Williams]

Steve,
It could be a wall switch, dimmer, or outlet with loose wire connections.  It could be a faulty circuit breaker or loose connections on the breaker.
good luck

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?
