Blow dryer causes audible buzz from power amps in two audio systems...

but only at one speed.  My wife's hair blow dryer causes the amps in both my bedroom system and family room system to audibly buzz.  It only causes the buzz when the blow dryer is on its low fan speed.  Strange.  The bedroom system is close to the master bathroom, where she uses the blow dryer.  But the family room is on the other end of the house and I assume on a completely different circuit.  Now, it does not cause any problem with the audio that the amps are producing.  It is just an audible buzz you can hear coming from the amp. Does this mean there is something wrong with the wiring in my house?  The house was built in 1987.

Even though I have a dedicated line to a dedicated listening room, I still have some hum and sound quality degradation when the dishwasher or blow dryer or clothes dryer are on. 
Agree with @steakster -  The easiest and least expensive solution is simply to not listen to your stereo while your wife is drying her hair.
And that's what I do.
