Just out of interest Will, I've already tried 2 separate power supply plugs
into my keyboard, and I still get an annoying noise when plugging them into
an amp/line in on my PC soundcard. The keyboard has onboard speakers, but I
can't detect any annoying noise when the keyboard volume is up full, with my
ear against the speaker...
This might be a problem with my sockets and/or my keyboard line outs being
futzed?
Thanks,
Andrew.

noises like the one you posted that stemmed from, of all things, the
power supply being grounded.

Hey Rich,
Yeah, I plugged both keyboard and amp into different outlets, and I got
the
same noise. :/
Will, I'll test that out tommorrow, when I get a 9 volt battery or two.
Also, just for the hell of it, I'll get a DI box anyway, just to see if
it
does anything for it.

Then in most countries it is required by law to be
effectively grounded. Next question is if you power
socket is... It should be if it accepts the plug.
Since you also have this interference with an amp,
but not with the headphones it really seems to be
a grounding problem.
To only other way to explain it would be to assume
it's some high-frequency stuff which your headphones
would just ignore, but any active input such the amp
or soundcard could demodulate into the audio band.
If you're using a laptop, does running it on battery
make a difference ?
Anyway I'd try a DI box, it's good practice anyway with
all instruments.
Ciao,
