I've been told that the "loop" part of "ground loop" is a misnomer.  I 
think the real problem is when a "chassis" connection doesn't really go 
to the conductive enclosure but rather follows on into the "ground" in 
the circuitry, which is probably better termed "common".  In the olden 
days, finding a connection to the "chassis" [i.e. enclosure] was a snap. 
  They were big, heavy, and obvious.  Not so much today.  Finding the 
"chassis" connection on a laptop can be a challenge.
