@grannyring "This noise can be defined as any unwanted signal which is corrupting/perverting the fidelity of the recording."
If there is no noise when the amp volume is up with no input signal, where and why does this unwanted signal become apparent when there is an input signal, and if it can affect the recording audibly, why can't you hear it when there is no input signal. A quiet amp is a quiet amp, it doesn't suddenly become noisy when it has an input signal.
