Thanks Stewart.  I did some body voltage measurements a while back and that room was no worse than the rest of the house and actually a little lower.  Maximum of 2.5 V in that room (living room) compared to max measurements in the kitchen, den, and bedroom all around 5 V.  By the way, how do these measurements compare to a typical house?

I have not done Gauss meter measurements. Is there a particular meter available for purchase that you would recommend?

I don't know what ground loops are and so didn't understand what you were saying there.  But given this is such an old house (1908 I think) with probably many additions and updates along the way, I do think that the wiring in the house is a big "spaghetti" mess.  For example, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to what is on which circuit.  It is kind of all over the place (some kitchen outlets on one circuit, others on another, etc.).

Thanks!

Russ

To a lesser extent I am sensitive to the whole front yard where the wire from the street runs diagonally overhead at a pretty low height (since the house is set above street level).
