Noise around outlet, help

Hello,
I'm wondering if someone can help me with this. My outlet is making a low buzz/crackling noise when I plug in the powercord that connects to a Bpt 3.5 sig. The noise goes away when I unplug the pc, so I'm thinking it's not the outlet.
Some background info: new hubbel cryo' outlet (about 1 week), new Bpt 3.5 sig (about 3 days), and new Nite Master (demoed pc) connecting the Bpt to outlet. I have all my components connected to the Bpt.
I haven't noticed this noise before, but today is the first day I have a chance to properly arrange them on my rack and noticed this noise. I've been running the system for about 3-4 days straigth, with an hour off to let things cool down a little every 24 hrs. It's not loud, but I'm concerned as I don't know what's causing the noise. My thanks in advance.

If you've wired everything correctly, you should not have any exposed areas on hot or neutral wires that could be touched by ANYTHING. If you have exposed areas, you haven't wired correctly.

If you're not 110% sure what you're doing, you ought to get someone to help you who does. House wiring is not something to fool around with or make mistakes with. You could lose your house or lose your life.
