I had this problem once before on a squire strat. The problem was bad grounding and the shielding.
It could be something else but that’s what I had to deal with on mine.

No hum with lights, TV, PC off. Slight hum with lights, TV, PC on but only when not touching the strings ... sounds pretty normal.

Does it do this regardless of where you plug in? For example does it do this at your rehearsal spot or just while at home? Can you plug in on a different circuit at home?
I’m suspecting the house wiring...

This happens in my house. I know which lights are on depending on the noise. The dishwasher sounds like a flanger background noise.

A few years ago we had some electrical issues going on too. Long story short, we needed to replace the entire electrical box....once that was done I was surprised how much quieter my guitar gear was.

This sounds like a wiring issue of the building, more than the guitar. Does this happen if every room? How about in a different building?

I've also had amp noise from my underground dog fence, and oddly enough a cell phone if it was right next to the speaker. Makes me reconsider having the phone in my pocket all the time :)

I will get noise from a cell phone right before calls or texts come through- I get a series of beeps through the amp.

When i turn the lights off sometimes my computer screen goes black for a few seconds although it still has power and sometimes when i unplug a power lead from the power board my pc is connected to it chimes like when you plug in a usb stick. Ha! but no hum from the tv........

Turn the lights off and and get a noise gate or keep your hands on the strings.
