Re: Guitar / Keyboard noise in new facility

On the block where I live there are 7 small apartment buildings - roughly 10 units each - on the same transformer. As I understand anything on this side of the transformer could cause that. All the buildings are moderately old, definitely before 1960. The outlets don't have the third ground wire but use the metal conduit to connect outlet ground to main panel.

There is also a Newspaper publisher and printer about half block away. I actually asked the Power Quality guy from the electric company about that and he said they wouldn't be putting noise back in the system to my side, but that one of the other buildings on this transformer may. He also suggested it may be noise from a bad ground which I've heard balanced power will not help, is this true?

Is it possible that it could be RFI from satellite or terrestrial antennae on the roof of the Newspaper publisher? If so how could I test for such a thing?
