I'm a beginner and recently bought my mini amp (borne strike g30) but it keeps picking up radio signals and making a really annoying buzz. When I change rooms sometimes the buzz will either go up or down. When I touch metal parts in my guitar it also gets a little better. I don't know if it's a grounding issue, but I hope not (cause I can't really do anything about technical stuff). Don't really know what to do, anyone got some advice? Thanks!

Try a better quality guitar lead?– TimCommented Dec 4, 2021 at 8:29

Are you talking about buzz with the guitar plugged in or buzz without anything being plugged in?– LazyCommented Dec 4, 2021 at 9:02

The things that cause buzz:
- Poor ground or shielding on the guitar
- Poor quality lead
- Poor ground or shielding on your amp
- Dodgy wiring in the house
We have a number of questions on each of these already that should have your answer, but for simplicity try the following:
- use another guitar, if the problem remains it isn't the guitar
- use another lead to rule it out
- try a different amp if those two don't help.

Hehe, did the last bit of the answer go missing? "If those two don't help..." ... switch to acoustic? :) Commented Dec 4, 2021 at 16:29
