Thanks, I am trying to figure out here what is the main breaker, and if it
is a switch on the box that is standard, because we have the breaker box
in the basement with two rows of switches going vircically, and this noise
is showing up mainly on a scanner Ih ave, but I am concerned if I get
equipment in here that it will be causing problems for the equipment. I
think that getting an electircian over here wouldn't be a problem, but I
will have to check this out first, and then figure out what circuit gots
to what room. I don't think it is the fomputer though, and at the other
house the noise would continue outside, and it just seemed to be that
house.
