I have been struggling with a similar noise in my house. Single-coils, actives, humbuckers—made no difference. Neither did running the FM9 with everything else in the house shut off. I tried in different outlets. Monitors or headphones, both exhibited that annoying noise. And it's not just the FM9, plugins or actual amps suffer from it too.
If I use a guitar cable, things are much worse and higher pitched. Tried different cables, and every cable aggravated that loathsome noise. Even bought a new Mogami cable, same deal. And like you, I can move around and it won't change the noise. However, I found out recently if I use a wireless system; the noise is somewhat ameliorated. Still present, but at tamer, more manageable levels. And that's with input gain turned up to compensate for the somewhat weaker signal.
I'm no electrician, but at this point I'm convinced something is totally off with the wiring in this house. It's an older one, built in the sixties, I believe.
No idea why a cable between the guitar and the interface would exacerbate the issue. Ground loop? But running wireless is an improvement for me. All I know is that now I can play without extreme gate settings and really appreciate the FM9.
I'm unsure if our problems are related, but if you have access to a wireless system, it could be worth experimenting with that.
