    We have a lot of static electricity.
    Someone worked on my parents house awhile ago and they mentioned that my parents could have a lot of built up electricity running through the house. It was a satellite TV installer, so I am not sure if that is possible. The lines hold as much electricity as they can then we turn stuff on.
    My question is we have a lot of electricity in our house. Plus our clock radio makes a loud buzzing sound all of the time. We have used 3 clock radios and they all do the same thing. We also have a under cabinet radio in our kitchen and it does the same thing, it's just not as loud. We have wood floors in our kitchen, dining and front room. Tile in our bathroom, and we only have carpet in two bedroom.
    Of all of the places that I have lived, I have never had this much problem with static electricity, does anyone have any tips, answers, etc...

    Have you tried using a humidifier?

    Raising the humidity level will help to eliminate some of the static electricity.

    With the mention of the buzzing radios, I'm not sure that static is the problem, I would suspect something may be wrong with the way the home is grounded?
