Are there other floors in the building below you? That seems to be what your results are suggesting. Try moving ten feet east or west and try the same experiment.
This is what I meant by the three different ways you can rotate your guitar: pitch, yaw and roll. Look at the picture below, and imagine the airplane is your guitar. These are the three ways it can turn.

Ok... first let me say that I have a ranch style house (all one floor), with a full basement. House was built in 1988 so all wiring is newer style. The house is rectagular with outside dimensions of 30x48.
Now, I've just took the axe to several places in the house, living room, dining room, two places in the basement, and the garage. what I found is that in each location the orientation of the guitar in relation to the clicking sound was the same throughout the house (same as described inearlier post) However, I did find that anytime the guitar was near a power cord or anywhere electric was running through the wall it was noisier...(not sure that the clicking itself was louder, maybe, but there was much more "buzzing" or "static" when close to anything electric) which makes sense.
I did notice that the bigger the space (living room, garage) the quieter the noise. I mean it seems like it's just in the power lines and since theres wiring in the walls and running under the floor, small room especially are just prone to more interference. I'm honestly not sure there's anything I can do about it at this point other than put all the wiring inside metal conduit to try and shield it...but that would require a complete tear out of the current wiring...not feasible.
So, I guess my only other option would be to try to shield the control cavity of the guitar...anyone ever done this? Any success?
I also found this post... http://forum.fractalaudio.com/ultra-std-discussion/25507-axe-fx-noise-issue-soundclip-included.html
That guy said that the power company replaced a transformer on a pole near his house and his issues were solved. I don't have and light poles in my neighborhood, everything is underground, don't know how that affects things...?
Rex, I appreciate the picture of the plane and the three axis', but this noise seems to be throughout the whole house...as if it's inherent in the wiring itself...but the larger the room the quieter it seems...but still present. Do you think shielding the control cavity would help in this situation?
