Unusual crackle

Aloha Guys!

Recently while playing aroung with my VH4 I noticed that when I touch the gain poti of the selected channel, it makes a cracking noise. It's comparable with the sound when you touch a metal part on a guitar with ground issues. When I adjust the gain the noise is getting quieter or louder depending on the gain level and the selected channel (loudest on Ch4, quietest on Ch1). This only happens with the gain potis, the others are unaffected.
Also we seem to have bad electricity in our practice room because there's a particular humming noise coming out of every amp.

Since it has no effect on the overall sound of the amp, I think it's not a big issue, though I would like to get this fixed. Maybe someone experienced the same or a similiar issue?

Wishing everyone a merry christmas and happy holidays!
