My PC microphone is picking up a buzzing noise from the water pump outside the house, the sound of the water pump doesn’t reach my room, but my microphone is making slight buzzing noise, which everyone on discord complains about, it sounds like some bug flying basically, it’s not the direct sound from the pump being picked up, but seems to be some electric noise transferred through the wires, it’s Winter now, and I need to have the pump running, because it’s what pumps the water into the house radiators for heating, as we have special room where the wood is burning to heat up that water, I don’t know the English name of the system, but this is used in almost every house in my country. Now my question is, is there any way to eliminate this noise?

    To reduce the buzzing noise in your microphone, try using a noise suppression software or feature in your audio settings. Additionally, consider using a ferrite bead on the microphone cable, as it can help filter out electromagnetic interference that might be causing the buzzing.

      Noise suppression is only a partial fix, only working during silences as the volume is ducked.

      Chasing noise is a pain in the arse. In the end I got an isolated 4-gang power strip to remove noise getting picked up by my guitar effects and amplification.
