I usually sing karaoke from my hard drive juke box. Whenever the jukebox is plugged in I can hear the ticking coming out of my PA speaker. They are a nice set its kinda embarrassing to have that ticking sound. Not sure if its a bad jukebox or a matter of electronic noise interference. What can I do?

You need to put a ground lift adapter (Three prong to two prong) on the power cord of your computer. Then you'll never be haunted by that clicking sound ever again.
 
Ok I tried to troubleshoot where the problem is. I unhooked the karaoke player from the mixer and the ticking and static from the speakers still continues. o the problem is the speakers.
 
What, exactly, are you using for speakers/amp/mixer? This may be a problem with the internals of your mixer/amp (if there are any built-in time-based features like reverb or chorus).
 
Sounds like an electric razor and a clock ticking!

Seriously, where is the noise originating? You're using JBL speakers, but in the video I saw you turn up faders on some kind of mixer - does this mixer have kind of internal FX unit? (reverb, chorus, etc) With a 1 Hz (once per second) click, it sounds like the noise is being produced by something internal. Don't know where the buzzing was coming from, though! Turn the lights on next time you video!
