If you switch to your second position on your pickup selector and it goes away, that's normal. That's the 60 cycle hum.
Otherwise, your guitar is probably not properly grounded. (Since you say the noise is on any amp) Call up the shop where you bought the guitar and talk to them about it, ask them to fix it up for you. If it's second hand, send it to a luther or something.

Hmm.
As with many home practise amps... the plug (for the amp) for attaching into your wall-mounted power socket only has 2 pins.. designed for american market.
I changed my amp's plug to a 3-pin and the buzz from my telecaster went away instantly.
Therefore, sometimes.. we may need to look at multiple aspects of the fingers > sound equation.

even if you have a 3-pin plug for your amp, there will still be an inherent buzzing if you play your single-coil equipped strat in driven settings- this is unavoidable, worse if you have pedals in your line-up with pre-amp options.

the average fender guitar has single coil pickups on board:
unlike some others which feature humbucking pickups (2 single coils banded together):
if this is your initial bout with single coil equipped guitars, please note that they hum under driven settings- the reason the humbucker was invented.

the should be a cause for concern when your buzzing blankets the sound of your guitar, otherwise, the more distortion you use, the more buzz there will be- this is normal.
simple check- if you deactivate your distortion, there should be less buzzing, if this isn't the case, you should bring it back to the dealer for a troubleshoot.
