I'm trying to record cassettes and LPs to my PC and am experiencing
line noise, possibly from some other device in the house. I have not
determined the source of this noise, but it occurs at random times
during the day, and causes clicks and pops that ruin any recordings. I
have tried moving the computer & audio equipment from the basemeent to
different rooms in the house and still am hearing noise.
The equipment being used is
* System: Pentium 4 PC running Windows XP Pro
* Software: Sound Forge
* Audio Interface: Tascam US-428
* Cassette deck
* Turntable (with preamp)
I have used most of this equipment for a long time and not had
problems with noise like this in other houses/apartments, and I've
only noticed noise like this in this house in the past couple of
months (then again I haven't tried transferring LPs or cassettes in
this house, however I have recorded guitar/drums/etc here for a couple
of years and not experienced this kind of noise).
A recording of the noise and images of the waveforms can be heard &
seen here:

Can someone tell what device in the house might be causing this (the
house has all the normal amenities - lights, A/C, W/D, etc.) or how to
filter this noise out of the signal loop before it reaches the
recordings?
Much appreciated!
