Not sure which forum to post this, and sorry if this is dumb - I've never had powered monitors for mixing. Wouldn't the amplifier noise be a distraction? Thanks.
 
Power amplifiers themselves, do not make noise. The fans that cool them do. Powered monitors typically use cooling fins to distribute heat. Not fans. No noise. :)
 
Could be a power grounding issue, or a balanced cable out of phase. I had the same issue when the store I bout my cables from improperly repaired my XLR cable and soldered the cables to the wrong pins. The head engineer I work with removes all the grounds from his equipment by breaking them off, I don't recommend this tactic but its a common practice. The proper way is to use a ground lift.

Kind of out of place response for the OP's question. Hmm...
 
Yes, really.

Um, where did you read humming? It was not in this post.

Are you an educated spambot?
 
It was an accidental post to the wrong thread.. PS Im a fully educated spam bot, and I can count by myself too, see..1,2,3,4.. Jealous?
