If power is supplied with overhead lines, could be a power line leak. We're on PP&L down here, Portland is PGE...I noticed severe RF after a good rain...(water seeps through cracks) so I walked my area with a cheap transistor radio. Then called PP&L. Turns out they have a guy who does just that, detects leaks. My transistor walking was spot on...able to point to the exact connection. A crew came out, fixed the problem.

If you get static on FM? Dunno what to tell you. It's generally RF immune.
