Have you tried turning the gain down from 10?

can you give a better description? like, what kind of noise? like a buzzing? or feedback? or what?

Its buzzing.

when I turn the volume of my guitar more than 3 and just touch the strings with my hand and release it (same thing happens when I play it).. it buzzes. so i had to keep my guitar's volume just upto 2, and i don't get any good distortion sound.
I'll try to turn the gain down from 10 as soon as i get home :) .

yeah, that's perfectly normal, pretty much any guitar will do that... if it's really really bothering you, then you could get a noise gate pedal. such as this one: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/fg=142/g=guitar/s=effects/search/detail/base_pid/151331/
but it is very normal, and yes turning the gain down from 10 will help. lol.

Good.

Also make sure you're not standing too close to the amp whilst you play.
