if your using distortion its probably that, this is what gates are for

dont buy a gate unless you intend on spending a lot of money though or it will just cut off noise's you actually want as well as the unwanted ones

generally speaking, strats don't use noiseless single coil pickups. The 2nd and 4th position are usually hum cancelling because the middle pickup is reverse wound. You can try using those positions if it really bugs you
