Yeah, I’ve got devices where there is a hum on their output while using usb-midi. 5 pin midi should not have such issues (but if done badly could)

Yep. It's not noise on the MIDI signal, obviously, it's crosstalk induced by USB circuitry. It gets worse when bus power is involved; USB-powered instruments are notorious for it.
