Not so sure what you mean by "noise inside the line." It has to get "inside"
somehow, from whence it is choked almost any convenient place along the line
prior to the rig connection.
Slightly off-topic, but an insight into the commercial and aerospace world in
EMI is a brief article linked below. Old hat to many of you, I'm sure. Don't
panic. The link is almost as long as the article.
