yeah - it does seem like a ground loop could be the evil doer, but there's always more reasons than the easy ones!
i don't know what your tolerance for noisy is, but...
my boomerang is about as quiet as you can expect from what's essentially the stomp box's stomp box. i used it on occasion in my old apartment (single circuit, if fridge kicks in lights will dim) w/out too much heinousness.
of course, everyone's mileage varying, and all that.... were you using it on an effects-send; or an input channel send/return, or just directly in?
is it the original flavor boomerang or the new, expanded, ultra steroid model?

Subject: Boomerang noise problem
speaking of looper noise, the Boomerang generates an intolerable amount
of noise for me sometimes (but other times not). I think it involves a nice
ground loop issue, but makes looping in my home studio quite impossible.
Ah, the beauty of apartment complex living.
other times I've noticed the noise in practices with my band as well,
and if I turn the boomerang loop volume all the way down, it kills the
noise. Kind of a pain.
solutions? =)
