Do you get a hum wherever you film inside, or particularly in one location? Lots of household/office appliances that we can't hear or filter out make a big hum when recorded - air con, computers, fridges, etc. Try being ruthless about shutting everything off when filming. Keep different types of cables away from each other, and if you need to cross them, do so at right angles. Test whether it's the tape mechanism that's making a lot of noise by monitoring the audio with a good pair of headphones at a distance from the camera, both with and without the tape running.
