More precisely, make sure that your stereo amplifier and your computer
are connected to the same ground. Even a few millivolts of AC

But only if you live in the US of A, if you live in other parts of the
world, it will be 50 hertz.


Neither. The hum you hear in the UK is actually 100 Hz.


How do you work that out?
