Default Should I get a new USB interface?

I have a VERY old M-Audio MobilePre USB interface. When I record stuff I've been noticing a pretty loud noise - turns out my electric guitar was the main culprit, very noisy!! - but this led me to do some tests with other instruments and then even with nothing plugged in at all, there is still a fairly low-level noise that I get in the background. I only record for fun on home projects so it's not a deal breaker, and not really noticeable once a couple of tracks are down, but I'm wondering even with the newer USB devices on the market is this noise still there or are they completely quiet? I'm thinking of a scarlet solo, but if they still have low-level noise I might use my xmas gift-card on something else
