buzzing guitar amp (reposted)

My amp (Randall Rx 30w) is three months old and yesterday, it started giving off
this fairly loud continuous buzzing noise. Sure it gave off a hum before but nothing like this. It didn't matter what settings I used, clean, OD, any of the effects, I couldn't seem to get rid of the buzz. Very annoying.

But after turning it off and putting the guitar away, a few minutes later I plugged in and turned it back on and the buzz is now gone again.

Could this have anything to do with the guitar cord? I almost thought at one point that
moving the cord around had an effect on the buzzing.

I have to ask this dumb question also: Is it normal for movement of the guitar cord
to amplify like when the cord drops to the floor or slides around the floor, should the sound from these cord movements be amplified?? I know mine is.

I'd greatly appreciate any help and have mercy, it's my first amp.
