How to get rid of microphone noise - grounding or sound card?

There is a recently assembled computer, PSU - Zalman ZM700, motherboard MSI 970A-G46.
When recording a voice from a microphone (a4tech bloody g501, usb), a loud hum is heard on the recording. It has been experimentally established that the grounding of which is not in the sockets is to blame (If you touch the computer case with your hand, the hum, respectively, disappears)
The apartment is rented. Part of the sockets with grounding antennae, apparently, is fake - the hum disappeared, connecting the computer (through 2 outstretched surge protectors) only to the socket in the kitchen, where an electric stove with a 3-pin connector is installed nearby (it also turns out to be a fake in the bathroom).
Actually, help me understand:

  • If you buy an external / internal sound card like asus xonar, will the problem disappear?
  • Leave the option of pulling the cable through half the apartment?
    Is ZIS Pilot Pro 6 a good filter? 10m of cable, I think, would be enough

If you do not have a normal ground and power supply, then an external sound system will not solve the problem (although it can smooth it out). Because of the unstable ground, your power supply "walks" a little, which is extremely critical for an ADC in a sound system. Although expensive good zvukovuhi can compensate a little walking power, dynamically recalibrating the ADC.
In addition, by the way, it can be noise with a frequency of 50 Hz - only the shielding of the microphone wire and, in general, everything that can be in the path of the audio signal to the audio ADC saves here.

You can only drag the ground wire.
You can also ground yourself to the radiator (now they will probably downvote me) :)
If there is a balcony, then you can find ground there

By the way, I also have the same ears and exactly the same problem. About the land is a good idea, now we need to think about where to throw it

not an expert in electronics.
Why does the iMac, mac-mini have a hum (*disappearing when closed) but not on the Macbook Air?
