Hi, A can of worms for sure. First it is unlikely to be the speakers fault. They only reproduce what they are fed with few exceptions (self powered ones and some types of electrostatics). So the noise is from the audio chain. If it is there regardless of source selected (not playing though) then it is nearly certain to be in the power amplifier area. If the level changes depending on the volume control or input selected then it is likely to be in what ever the source is (CD, LP etc). If you can provide a bit more information about your system and how the noise changes or doesn't change as mentioned above I can probably give you a less general answer.
