If you can operate your receiver off battery power, I suggest shutting
off all the power at your circuit breaker. Then turn your receiver on
and see how much 'quieter' things are. That should show you how much of
the noise you hear is atmospheric and how much of it is from sources
inside the house.

If you want to minimize the noise coming from various appliances in
your home, pick up some ferrite beads and attach them to all the power
cords. I did this and it helps. I also keep my receivers as far away
from other appliances, especially computers, printers, etc., as
possible. Yes, this might mean that you won't be able to control the
receiver with your computer, but--at least in my case--the trade off
was well worth it.

Who sells ferrite beads,websites Please? Concerning computers,I wonder
if making some Faraday cages (for computer and computer monitor) out of
some easy to shape and form close weave copper screen wire would help?
Something that can easily be placed over (and removed for when using
computer and computer monitor) computer and computer monitor and perhaps
shape some copper screen wire around whatever computer related
cables/wires would be of any help with decreasing RFI? Well,it's a
thought anyway,I guess.Hey,I certainly am not an expert on that.

This would do nothing to diminish the H field.
