For those wondering about making a faraday cage to isolate a studio, you should know the shielding doesn't need to be solid (i.e. tin foil) to be effective. Wire mesh, chicken wire, "hardware cloth," and chain link will all work really well as long as they're properly grounded. If you do decide you want continuous cover, mylar blankets (like the scene in The Boys) are going to be your best bet as they're a super thin layer of foil between two layers of mylar resin. Again, the trick is grounding. All of that aside, I'm really impressed by both SG's ability to track down the noise and the power company's responsiveness. Solid work all around.

Sam…I had this same symptomatic behavior of an insidious clicking sound with a 1983 Rivera Era Fender Super Champ I used to own. Your problem was completely different and wholly external. Mine was due to a component failing. In my case, the act of plugging gain boosting gear, e.g., a distortion pedal, made my problem worse and suggested the issue was in the power amp stage of my amp. In my situation, I eventually traced the issue to a wonky 6V6 power tube that had an internal fault and was inappropriately sensing a cap in the amp circuit discharging, aka a true fluke. Changing the pair of 6V6 tubes solved the issue.

You probably have a single coil or split humbucker pickup. Those are great antennas. Consider shielding the cavities in your guitar, it helped my Strat enormously.

My man full on fixed an issue with the mains electric circuit you deserve a medal or something

This was the most elaborate house tour I have ever seen.

If you are going to try the shielding angle so this doesn't happen again, I can recommend having copper mesh lining an entire room, floor, ceiling and walls, then connect that copper mesh to a ground connection. That way you'll have built a Faraday Cage room, free from outside interference.

This is sooo cool in so many ways, and according to my experience and the general opinion about the public services companies in my country, it could be more of a "happy ending fairy tale" than an informative and entertaining vlog, dude, really, congrats on everything about this :)

For me personally, after trying the early solutions (which didn't work inside his studio) I would have loaded up the "humming devices" and driven to a friend's house several blocks away and tried it there. If the humming disappeared (as apparently it would have), I would have started working my way back to the studio, testing along the way, until the humming and clicking returned. I'd suggest testing every "half distance". ... That is, go half way back to the studio and test... No bad sounds?... Then go back half the remaining distance and try again. At some point using this "half distance technique", he would have stated picking up the interference. He could have then begin triangulating the source of the interference from there. As it turned out the interference was coming from outside his house, he could have saved a lot of work by finding that source before wasting all that looking inside the house. If, however, the outside readings were clean, then (and only then) he should have taken his "testing equipment" back inside the house and worked from there. Anyway... It's just a thought (As Beau of the Fifth might say.)

Reminds me of 2 things that happened to me. A few years ago, I got my first electric guitar and was trying to find a longer and more reliable cable. My dad used to be in a band, so he had a whole collection of old cables and a few amps. One of the cables and was only 3 feet long and didn't work well, but when both ends were plugged in it picked up a radio station. (Edit: I wrote this just after watching the intro, I didn't think this would be so relevant!) The second thing, my family picked up an old Kimball electric organ last year. We put it in the living room by the wifi router, and at some point the next week, someone put the router on top of the organ to keep the dogs from destroying it. The next time I turned the organ on, the signal from the router interfered with some electronics in the organ and produced a lot of feedback. I thought there could be a pinched wire in it, so I took the router off the top, opened it up, moved some wires out of the way of each other, played it, and it was fine. I closed the top and put the router back on and was confused when it made more feedback. That happened a few more times. Finally, I had open with the router off and sustained a note while I put everything back and found out it was the wifi. Now we have a thick book in between them to keep that from happening again.

Try to minimize the number of variables. Get a battery powered amp. Try the amp alone. Add the instrument cable. Add the guitar. Touch the strings. Touch the metal on the plug and jack. Try an amp that uses AC power. At some point the noise should appear. This will tell you the most likely point of entry for the interference. If there is a change in noise when you move the guitar around, that is a clue as well. Touching the strings or bridge with your body should reduce the noise, since the strings should be grounded and your body is a weak antenna.

What a fascinating and oddly calming video. Walking around with the guitar as an antenna was priceless. Please test guitar as an aerial for your digital TV. Just for the lols.

That's the first time I saw any emotion in your videos. The usual deadpan facade has slipped. You are capable of joy after all

I hope you´ll have a lot more mysterious house noises! Your approach to those is just awesome. Maybe you should start some kind of problem solving series one day!

That's actually quite a nice idea! @samuraiguitarist should read this and think about it 😉👍

The genuine joy on your face at the end made my day

Just started the video; however, over the years and various locations I have dealt with all sorts of sound noises like this. I have found all sorts of solutions for various things. Really, it never ends. There is always a new issue around the corner. It is interesting. Looking forward to the video. Good luck fighting the good fight people!

This was an amazing video! Having lived twice in Winterpeg, I actually really missed my time there watching your video!! Good luck with the -30s, the potholes, and the amazing people who live in such a desolate city!

This could have easily become a lovecraftian horror story.

You just saved the whole city from an EMP

I'm really glad you tried this, I was so mad with airborne noise at one point I almost wrapped myself in foil.

Thank you for taking all your time to make and post this video. It helped me tremendously. I’ll make a donation asap.

Ladies and gentlemen, that's what we call scientific method.

Can't wait for the country song about mouse droppings in the next episode

Dude, love this. You are unique Bro! All of your videos are super informative.

Thats just crazy how an annoying noise coming from a guitar amp ended up resulting in the discovery of a transformer box with faulty shielding. Unexpected is the best word to describe that I think.

You told that lady from the electric company the story of her life ! and no joke , i tip my hat to the electric dudes , nobody would give a damn about a guitarist, Yeeey for canada

This is the most entertaining video I've seen today. (You must know that I binge watch lots of crap recently) It has educational value AND is funny at the same time Good Job Sammy G!

I had genuine joy and a huge smile when you turned the amp on at the end. ....I'm just SO HAPPY!

Dr. Therapist: Robo-Sammy G isn't real, he can never hurt you. 6:54:

This reminded me of better call Saul when the brother tore up his house cause of electricity.

This 9:30 happiness dance+guitar riff and this sweet smile at the end of it makes me so happy

Nicely done sammy g. I’ve often found this stuff to be a problem for me at times but i just went and serviced my gear for the problem to still be there 😢

There should be a new mysterious sound hunting series

Like 20 years ago at school, they had and amp that would sometimes pick up some sort of (maybe) russian voice speaking. The first time it happened we freaked out haha.

I need a series where Sammy G walks around the city solving mysteries with his guitar wand.

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. I watched it twice, even though I knew how it would end.

Imagine how sammy g got jenny to wrap him in alluminum foil

She wrapped him in foil to begin with, so he had to make up a video to justify it.
