When i unboxed my Samson Meteor USB Mic, it was incredibly good, no background noise what so ever, after making around 4-5 videos with it, this started happening. When trying to do noise removal with something like Audacity, it seems to not pick up this noise at all, even though it hurts my ears listening to it.

Anyone know what could be causing this noise? Tried different USB's on the PC, and the weird thing is that the noise is BARELY visible when looking at the audio waves, and not visible at all when looking at the mic in Mic selection, but when i choose to listen to it (tried different softwares), it still does this noise. I've also tried turning off skype/steam or anything that can disturb it.
 
Solution
Perhaps some distortion from your motherboard. I've heard some noise problems on headset, perhaps microphones as wel, can be solved by plugging them into an external USB hub that has it's own power supply (not powered by the USB from your PC). I have no idea, but it might give you some idea's
