Just a quick comment on those USB batteries. Most of them use one or more 3.2 - 3.7V Lithium Ion batteries within but require a boost converter chip (a switching DC-DC converter) to achieve their 5V output. So any noise associated with that switching frequency could be riding on your USB battery 5V output. But.... it IS easier to capacitor filter higher frequencies vs 60Hz line freq.You do not get a clean output directly off the Li battery itself.
