noise like someone was scratching the mike

Sometimes I hear some noise in my Omega2 that isn't affect by increasing the volume. The noise looks like someone was rubbing and/or scratching the microphone in the recording. It isn't continually there.
Who knows what this can be? Has it something to do with the tubes? (I thought so and changed the tubes for an other quartet, without result)

Is it really loud noise, or more like background noise? It might be that some internal grounding wires are loose from the connection. One of my amps had developed a similar problem. It was random "static" like noise that would appear from time to time. Not very loud, but noticeable. A very respectable and knowledgeable local tech diagnosed the problem and fixed it for me. (It turned out to be a loose ground wire connection.)

it is like background noise and it disturbes in soft passages of the music. I'll start to check for loose wires!
Thanks!
