    Brilliant! Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure out where the buzz was coming from. I turned of the A/C, the PC in the other room, the air filter, the refrigerator. After an hour of trying different fixes, you helped me solve the problem so quickly! The buzz was coming from my camera. I had it plugged into the light ring which is plugged to the wall socket. Thanks!

    Grouding issues are the most common ones that many many people wont even notice it, i had this rumble or buzzing noise call it as you wish, for long time , i even buy a gaming pc wish has a decent motherboard soundcard in it , an ALC 897 chipset, it should provide decent quality, but i still getting this noise, then when i touched my gaming case with my finger tip , the noise disapeared immediatly then when i remove my finger it comes back as it was, it proves that it something electrical in that genre so i investigate more, i had did anything to discover where it comes , but at that time i still dont get it... i thaugth either i'am dumb... or i was loosing it, so i read more in the net about those problems , so i ve heard for the grounding for the first time, so i checked my electrical pluging, i discovered that the one i had in my room it not grounded, that sucks for me sory to tell you but yeah , my reaction was "There is no Way!" , and of caurse i still cant fix it, and do nothing about it i need an electrician, that will install it, it very hard thing.

      Yes, it is quite possible that a loose connection or damage to the mic itself might cause the same issue. Trying to isolate the cause of the hum is often a process of elimination to rule out other possible reasons.

    holy microphone G... did you just advise using WD40 on an electrical contact?!? NO WAY. a Qtip or cloth only bro. incidentally many times a cable from a lamp or other source may be across or very close to a mic cable. best thing is to purchase some clip on ‘ferrite rings’.. they suppress RFI & EMI noise. it’s that round thing you see on computer & hard drive cables all the time. fyi: clip them everywhere, they really work! get on Amazon - they’re boxed in assorted sizes. cheers!
