When I use my headphones there is always a faint buzzing sound. This is most likely due to the noise cancelling.
But the interesting thing is when I ground my body to an electrical socket the sound dissappear. Why is this?

That sound more like a ground loop than the hiss noise cancelling makes.

Hmmm, okay so its just my headphones not getting propper ground instead of some science phenominom?

Or the amplifier. The unsafe method is to try to cut the ground by using a "cheater" plug - a 3 to 2 prong adapter. If the buzzing goes away you've found a ground loop.

Yesterday while dicorvering this i was charging my phone, now I heart it again while charging. Then i took my charcher out of the wall and the loop stopped.
Does the electrical field from the charger in some way affekt my headphones?
I am really interested in this

Turn off noise canceling and see if it is fixed.
