For some time I've had some kind of "clicking sounds" coming through my studio monitors and headphones. Couldn't find the source.
I finally tracked and traced it down: it's directly caused by a USB multi charger.
This device provides 4 USB-A ports plus a USB-C port with enough power for a laptop to run on.
The remarkable thing is: this hub isn't connected to my audio gear at all !
In fact, it's meters away and connected to a different wall outlet.
Still, just plugging this hub into the outlet starts the noise.
And the number of connected USB devices determine the rate of the clicks.
I guess this must be EMI or something.
I normally don't "shame"companies, but I reported the issue and they didn't get back to me, so here it is:
It's a Xtorm USB Power Hub Cube Pro, aka: Xtorm Worx Desktop Multi Charger 60W.
