You sure its not you mic causing noise? Try muting it.

it could be a radio station i use to use guitar amps before and i often get radio stations coming in on it

Speaker cables can actually pick up radio signals. I'm not sure what the best fix is but it's a common enough problem so I'm sure there is one. Try moving the cables around a bit and see if it makes a difference

I think you can buy ferrite rings at Maplin, and that's kind of like a sellotape that you wrap around the cables to shield it from interference.

Mute the 'line in' in the surround mixer. I had the same problem. Its most likely something to do with your mixer settings.
