There are many solution for noise canceling. Single coils will always have some noises unless it is a single-coiled sized humbuckers or if it is a stacked pickup. But they may no longer have the feature of a single coil anymore. Using noise gates is also a solution for hums but not everyone prefer to use noise gates. Some may feel that it deteriorate the tone. (maybe? maybe not? well anyway...)
One way to retain the single coil tone and yet eliminate the noise is this.
These look like normal backplates but they are not. They are noise canceling back plate by Ilitch Electronics (they dubbed this BPNCS - back plate noise canceling system). This may not be entirely new. Suhr has similar product in its list but it is originally designed by Ilitch Electronics. Installing is pretty simple since it only requires a few soldering but that is if the pickups are all in the same polarity. In most cases, the middle pickup in a SSS-configuration is a reverse wound...
You may check with TY Music Center for this product. Do note that this is not cheap at all. However, if you see this as a necessary upgrade, then by all means.
