Have you tried turning all the lights completely off?
I once encountered this problem in a studio, took a while to find the culprit:
A compact florescent bulb outside the back door...
Outside noise can get in on the power line, that Furman is not going to stop much... you can try running enough of the studio to test for the noise on a UPS diss-connected from the mains to rule out noise on the mains.
