Mechanical relays are a great way to introduce spikes/noise. You could start 
out with wiring a diode parallel on the coil contact points, so that when the 
coil is disconnected the induced current (the current will want to keep 
flowing) of the coil can be dissipated ( not sure if my translation is correct )

Or better: remove the mechanical relays :)
