I hear a unpleasant noise in my headphone (Apex) and it's stopped if I touch the 1/4" jack (I use a BR1200) ...same thing if I plugged a guitar to the BR1200. The noise stopped if I put a finger on the jack ??????

I ask my 5 years old sister to hold the jack while I play but it's not comfortable !

lol, that's wrong in so many ways :eek:

sounds like a bad solder/contact point. it may be your jacks are just getting worn out from the constant plugging in and out...or they might just be cheap connections. You may try and different cable though, that might help.
 
I was getting something similar until I researched and found out it was the single coil pickup of my guitar. Apparently they don't like monitors, so if too close they complain rather loudly. Coinicidentally I was gettin the same thing in practice and was getting ready to take the guitar to the shop until I saw that the cabinet next to me house a computer. Once the monitor was off, hum stopped (or if I switched the toggle to the humbuckers).
