That's what I meant. I've been recording direct input for almost the entire time. I've tried both the line in on my motherboard as well as the microphone jack. It's almost definitely the pickup, not the input method. I've tried sitting all the way across the room as well as 3 different input methods (as mentioned).
Buying a soundhole pickup would cost as much as mic's, so there isn't really much point in that.
I'm also looking into mics because I want that sweet soundhole-y reverb sound.
I've tried various methods of noise removal and none of them have worked. From fiddling with EQ settings to actually doing a noise removal thing (on 2 different programs including Audacity), none of which worked.

If your guitar has a microphone pickup inside of it, buying a sound-hole pickup would be a pointless waste.
I am confused, I don't understand how moving around the room would have an effect or how dampening the walls would do anything if you have an interbal mic pickup because the sound from your guitar is not leaving the sound hole, bouncing about the room then re-entering the sound hole and going into the mic.
If you externally mic up the guitar, that problem will be greater, not lesser.
If there is that much noise from an internal microphone pickup that noise removal totally fails, something is way wrong ajd it isn't your room.
Double check some things. First, if your computer is a Windows machine, open up the sound devices and go to the microphone (if that is where you directly plug in) and try turning on DC offset cancellation. Also be sure to turn off acoustic echo cancellation. Next, make sure the microphone boost option is set to 0 and try reducing the microphone input volume.
Also, egg crates do nothing for improving room ambient sound. Room treatment depends on a ton of factors and what you have to do to treat it depends on said factors.
