Is there some kind of inline filter I can purchase? Appreciate incites.

I had the same problem with my old Vista laptop. I was advised to get a "ground loop isolator", which worked for several months. Then the noise got loud again even while using it. After trying everything, I finally discovered that I needed a new electrical cord for my laptop. I purchased it & the noise went away.
