RE: I am still trying to maer sure of everything

"I am guessing that would be radio signals that cause "noise"?"
Not necessarily. There are many sources and differing types of "noise" Notably RF which is radio frequencies picked up from radio signals, cell phones, wireless devices to name a few.
Then EMF which is noise picked up from your electrical system in the house. Dimmer switches and fluorescent lighting are big polluters. The motors in your a/c and fridge can contribute.

"Would that be a problem if I don't listen to radio broadcasts or have an antenna hooked up?" Possibly, see above. If the antennae is connected to a tuner there is probably rejection circuitry built in.

"Do you think that would help the signal?"
Absolutely, separation and isolation are the prime means to keeping noise off signal lines. Your approach on installation is the first step.
My big thing is to know what you are dealing with before you start chasing ghosts.
I have worked 30 years in industrial instrumentation. I have chased and at times mitigated these problems. If you think spending money to cure something that may or may not be there and it makes you satisfied there is a positive result then ok, your good.

The moderators feel that allowing this thread to continue, even though it may hold useful information, will wind up creating more trouble than it solves, and thereby detract from the purpose of this forum.

This is not the appropriate venue for discussion of this matter, and we ask that those with an interest in the subject, take it elsewhere (e.g. private e-mail).

No further follow-ups will be considered.

Thank you for your support of the Asylum.
