Speaking of dryers and improvements made, there are other appliances in your home that will definitely affect the deliver of electricity in your home. Generally anything that has a big draw on it will do this. Most notable the washer, since that barrel full of water needs some good torque to be moved back and forth, and your fridge.
I actually used to see the neon light in the wash room throb as the washer was working. I put an Audio Prism Quiet Line filter on the washer outlet and it decreased very noticeably. So I put another on the fridge outlet. Overall a very small investment that works quite well, though not perfect.
Enjoy,
