I have an SG with P90 and it was never that noisy.
It may be pickups...it may be that some copper tape will fix it...,

P-90's are quite noisy, but if you like the tone you learn to live with it.
I have a hatred of fender p-90's after buying a set of black doves years ago. they had this terrible design which meant the coil wire travelling through a few mm of empty air space to get to the eyelet from the bobbin. they also used a smaller bobbin (badly deformed from poor winding) that didn't fill the p-90 case so would always fall out the plastic when removing from the guitar.
these 2 slight design issues meant I managed to snap the coil connection on both pickups.

here they are, admittedly this was after a few months of rattling around in a drawer after they broke the first time from holding them in the wrong place. But you can see why this might be a particularly noisy pickup if they are all made this badly
