True! And that applies for every case. Even if you have 100% isolated mains with solar or battery, you'll get 50hz from neighbours (especially apartments) and power lines close by.
I remember having this issue when working in a recording studio during college, even when we switched to battery and turn the mains off, we'd still get hum in some guitars.
Funny enough I was recently reading an interview with producer Michael Beinhorn and he mentioned having some "mystery EMF/RFI event" happening in New York around 1997, coming from a specific block, and he had to relocate a recording session to Los Angeles because of how strong it was interfering with the guitar amps and other equipment [1].

- jsjohnst 4y agoI really wish this story included which half block area it was strongest.
- ratww 4y agoThat would be very interesting to know! Especially considering the two studios he mentioned aren't exactly close to each other: https://goo.gl/maps/MLw3twvRi9GumYeX8 https://goo.gl/maps/MLw3twvRi9GumYeX8
