I had a fairly noisy fridge in the next room, but never noticed its noise getting picked up - but I often used movable traps to isolate the mic
If you are experiencing noise when recording, pinpoint the source - if its your computer, then isolating the computer or the tracking mic with movable gobo-traps may be the quickest solution.

Thanks for the ideas.
Very well could be the fridge in the next room, but when I opened the door to that room there was no change in the noise level. Still could be the source though.
The highest noise level in my room is a fairly narrow band at 50-60Hz, also nearly as high at 30Hz (when the HPF is off), also some noise but lower in the range of 120Hz and 180Hz (which the HPF doesn't help as it gets set in the range of 50-75Hz.
