 Buzzzzzzzzzzzz... Hum... click, pop, HISS! Ok, this sucks. If you have a project studio and you're experiencing noise through your monitors - have a look at what you've got your gear plugged in to.
If you're using some of those $2 power strips from Wally-world - throw that crap out right now! Your gear is in grave danger!
What you need... is a Power Conditioner.
A Power Conditioner is like power strip, except it has REAL surge protection and a filtering system that helps eliminate all those nasty pops, hisses, hums and buzzes. The better ones cost $100 or more, but are well worth the investment.
Surge protection on these units are also superior to the run-of the-mill, consumer stuff. Synths and FX racks cost big bucks and are particularly sensitive to lightning strikes and power spikes. Quality surge protection is a no-brainer. Spend the extra bucks and do it right.
You will also be amazed at how much the power conditioning filter can clean up noise coming from your monitors. So, not only will you be able to give the finger to Mother Nature... your ears will be in mixdown Heaven.
