More than likely something in your home is injecting interference into the powerline system. If they work in the same room (same circuit) that usually indicates that the devices themselves are good. The further apart they are or on seperate circuits, the more sensitive to inferference they are.
Things that cause interference:
cheap cell phone chargers
old/bad/poorly made electronics
high draw appliances
surge protectors
arc fault breakers
gfci outlets
old/bad wiring
even things like electronics going bad can start injecting interference when they worked fine for year.
Its tough to say whats causing it without going around and unplugging a ton of devices and plugging them back in slowly to see which one is causing it
