Rookie Move - Mysterious Clicking Noises - MIDI recording

Update 2 - I read the MIDI Interface documentation (should have started with that) - it specifically stated, if you "hear pops, clicks and distortion, try raising the buffer size". My buffer size was at 64 - I raised to 1024 and no more pops, clicks, noise.

Update 1 - my friend recommended turning off LED lights in my house - that solved the problem! I have about 10 smart LED lights. All off now, no clicking.

Have experienced a clicking noise while attempting to record from my MIDI keys - MIDI out to Focusrite MIDI to USB Interface going into my Laptop USB. Noises driving me nuts. I turned off cell phone, wireless in house, wireless mouse, swapped USB cable, still had click noise in a constant cycle. Plugged laptop and and keys into Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) I took from my TV and problem solved - no more clicking. I have had my share of tech problems in the past week LOL.
