How to guarantee to lower noise- ground loops in your system

Agree with @atmasphere and @andy2. Ground-loop is caused by components having different ground potential. This begins with the design of the grounding scheme. Some designs share a signal ground and a safety ground, or some components don't have the earth ground bonded to the chassis. I agree that wiring the duplex with an isolated ground to the circuit panel ground does reduce noise from other devices and appliances in the home. Using a self-grounded receptacle is not the way to go. |
If all circuits are to Code, AND there is a proper low resistance earth ground, you won’t have any mains circuit ground loops. If "proper low resistance earth ground" means the earth ground from the components, then that is correct. If just one component doesn't have a proper grounding scheme and is using unbalanced ICs, there is a probability of a ground-loop. |
