A used oscilloscope from eBay. You'd need only the most basic obsolete model for testing 60 hz.

you don't need any sophisticated equipment.
Get a really cheap AM radio, battery operated, and hold it next to your circuit breaker box and then move it from plug to plug throughout the house, especially if you have something operating on it.
FM will not work
AM will pick up all spurious radiation that will come out of it. You can also use your TV, but only channels 2-6, not connected to cable and if you have noise on your line, you will see it in the form or static on your screen.

I just want to say I'm impressed with Bills answer. It works, but sounds silly. This was taught to me when I was very young. Next I'd like to ask this, Why are you worried about noise. The noise itself would be coming from an appliance that's running, not just the line.

PROBABLY THE FILTER TO STOP IT!
