There's a few things that can make it worse.
Powered monitors set with too much gain, and then driven with too low an audio signal. Motorised faders on HUI type moving fader desks for writing automation. Things with sensitive pre amps (especially transformer coupled ) put too close to power supplies.
Grounding a large bit of baco foil and then smothering it over devices as they are running can prove a point
I am using proper speaker cables - does that mean they are balanced?
the speakers are plugged directly into sockets on the wall, as is all the gear
i have the speaker amps up full - I’m probably driving too little signal into them
I will experiment with different cables and different gain settings tomorrow
There's some info at the link below:

I get that if plugged directly into my PC. If I use the hub in my monitor it's fine. I believe it to be a ground loop of sorts
the speakers are connected with ‘mono’ ie tip, sleeve cables…so I will replace them asap
My audio interface has balanced outputs and I use it with Yamaha HS7 monitors which have balanced inputs, so I can use balanced cables. As you are also using Yamaha monitors, there's a good chance they'll have balanced inputs.
