Whenever I power on my speaker, I get these low annoying noises. The cables used to be so entangled and the humming reduced after correcting this. Is noise filtering the only solution? It can be complicated and time-consuming too.

You probably have a ground loop, or possibly an interconnect with a bad shield. You just gotta chase it down and correct it.

Looking for what could be causing the hums can be a long tedious process and at times I prefer to let a professional handle this. For how long have you been looking to correct this?

I also wonder how the hums were created. Does other equipment, like a TV screen or an equalizer, affects the humming sound of the speaker? How about metals that are part of the speaker cabinet, do they contribute to the humming sound?
