Blue Yeti background noise on OBS HELP

[TrueTwoFace]

So I recently made the purchase of a Blue Yeti microphone to take the place of my headset microphone. One thing I did not realize was how incredibly sensitive this thing really is. I have the microphone set to Caratoid, my gain is set appropriately, as well as the microphone level itself within the properties. 

I know there are several programs out there that are supposed to help reduce the background noise and the general hum of the room, but I cannot for the life of me figure any of them out on my own. I'm currently running my microphone through the VoiceMeeter program with the use of the VB Audio Virtual Cable. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to fix the hum I have in the background? One of my buddies compared it to sounding like I was in the back of a C-130.

Have you sufficiently isolated the mic's cable from all other cables, especially power cables?

I have, although it isn't a power hum type of sound. It's picking up the hum from my air conditioning in my house. Living in Texas, AC is kind of a necessity.

Oh, I see. I don't really know then, This is outside my area of expertise.

That seems to be the general consensus from everyone I've talked to thus far. 

Thanks anyway.

I'm currently dealing with a similar issue. best solution is, if it's just the one frequency you need to deal with, find a plugin that works with voicemeeter, find the exact frequency of the background, and EQ that frequency down like 9-12db.

Actually. What's the noise floor with the AC running? You might want to try moving the mic so that the AC is further off axis from the mic so it doesn't pick it up as much. If your noise floor is like -30db eq will not be able to properly remove that.
