So when I record using my mic it seems to pic up radio signals very slightly in the background in play back.
Anyone have this issue or any tips to solve it?
Thanks!

Do you actually mean radio signals? Could you put up a clip of the audio, because white noise is very common in un-appropriated rooms. That's why singers sing in sound proof boxes. It also could be the sound of electronics running bouncing off the walls to give a low hum. The solution in these cases would be to have a room dedicated to your recording and the such that has sound proof foams setup in the key places. Please let me know if you have a clip to listen to.

Do you mean that slight buzzing sound when I turned the volume to make? Because it took a lot for me to hear that. So take solace in that it isn't noticeable, really at all. But that would be some type of hum coming from your mic itself, where it has electricity powering it so the hum can be picked up internally. Really the only fix is upgrading your mic, but it's perfectly unhearable when you are trying to listen to someones voice and not the background on high. Unless that music in the background is what you're talking about... ;)

Oh, I was joking, but that actually was it?! Wow, the irony of my statements.

Well do you have a spare mic around? Try testing with something else recording to see.

Okay, well I personally have no solutions. You could look up the product info and see if this is a common complaint and if so then you can either get a refund, a product trade, or they'll give you a solution for the problem. I hope this helps.

No problem, it's a manufacturers job to know all faults in their products. They should have some answer.

Investing in higher-tier equipment, or editing your audio afterwards can do the trick. Noise can be generated from a simple tapping of your foot, letting your microphone jimmy around too much, or random noises in the distance.
