Answer 1

Is your microphone an electret type? If it is, try a dynamic one and see if this solves the problem.

Answer 2

I think you have to put a fliter on it.....

Answer 3

Either turn down the mic volume just a little bit, and/or make sure sure the mic boost isn't enabled if you have the volume turned right up. Also, it looks as if you will need to buy a Windshield (mic foam) for your mic. This will reduce the background noise by quite a bit.
