Tweak or Tin Foil Hat?


I have noticed that my tube amplifier has some noise in it on occasion that seems to be related to my AirPort Extreme wireless router that is in the the same cabinet in the adjacent space. If I get serious about my listening and my wife isn't home I will unplug it, but I have been thinking about using tin foil to make a barrier lining in the cabinet. Any reason to think this might make a difference? I just have not had the time when I think about it to give it a try as of yet.

I think the cable modem and wireless router will be relocating soon. It helps that my brother-in-law works at the cable company and can easily make sure that we are getting the correct band width at the new port.
It is noise in the speakers, but it is not there when the speakers are connected to my receiver, just the tube amplifier. If I unplug the Apple Extreme it goes almost completely away as well. I can't claim to really notice it while music is playing, but it is annoying when it isn't.
