if your guitar doesnt have humbucker pickups (which it probably does) buzzing will occur whenever there is another electronic running nearby. otherwise, your gain knob could be causing it. you'll just have to buy a better amp or deal with it. i reccomend Marshall amps.

Your laptop power supply most likely has a switching mode regulator which is emitting a bit of radio frequency noise. Likewise, your laptop has many high speed digital signals which create radio frequency noise, some of which can escape the laptop. Touching your laptop causes your body to become an antenna and radiated this leaked energy more efficiently. All of this is pretty normal for electronic gear. The culprit is your amplifier which is picking up these radio frequency noise signals and injecting them into the signal path in the amplifier. I have a Crate amplifier that has this problem severely when I plug it into an inverter for outdoor use. I installed an EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) filter at the power inlet to the amplifier which reduced the noise quite a bit. The noise can enter your amplifier in two ways: radiation, and conduction (through the AC power line. Adding an EMI filter to the power input will help with conducted interference. Shielding the amplifier circuits with conductive sheet metal or heavy gauge aluminum foil will help with radiated interference. Unless you are skilled in working with electronic equipment, I don't recommend you attempt the shielding approach. You might try plugging the amplifier and the laptop into separate outlets which are on different branch circuits in your house. The longer electrical path between the amplifier and computer might attenuate the interference signals enough to improve the situation.

The issue is likely in the pickups of your guitar. "Humbucking" pickups are an easy answer to the problem, or with single coils, you can reduce the buzz by using multiple pickups at once. Keep your amp on the floor, keep your guitar away from it to reduce feedback, and watch how much volume and gain you use. For additional reduction, there are in-line devices out there to help ebb the hum.

I had this problem once and it turned out to be the lead from the amp to the guitar. Check the lead for any suspicious lumps or bends.

some of the other people are probably right but try hitting it with a hammer... i know a guitarist that had to do that during shows it was pretty entertaining!!!
