First, try finding the best place in your room/studio, and the best angle where your guitar makes minimum noise. After that you can try using a noise gate, or a suppressor. First try some free ones like these

Noise gates are good for sure!
You could also try an eq with a very narrow band to notch out mains hum which is either 50 or 60z depending on which country you are in - that is usually the biggest contributor to noise. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I've never thought of that actually but makes sense. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

TBH I'd suggest that you find what is causing the noise and try to eliminate it at source via better grounding/shielding etc rather than try to fix it in the mix. If you can't then follow Andrew's suggestion but note the following as it can help but may not be ideal. If you do: First you should use a linear phase eq for the narrow band attenuation - minimal phase eq tends not to be precise enough. The vast majority of eqs are MP rather than LP. Second even with an LPEQ you will probably attenuate frequencies around the narrow band. So you should be aware that you will not just be notching out 50 Hz but a range. This is even more true for MPEQ. Third mains hum often includes some overtones/buzzing so to notch it you often need to also notch out those overtones at 100, 150 etc (for 50 Hz) . -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

They shouldn't be that noisy, if the noise is a big problem, I suggest you spend some time in shielding the strat properly, this will pay out a lot. The singles pickup a LOT of electrical interference and 50-60 cycle hum, so you IMO it's good to solve the problem in the root.
