That feeling is correct. Simple way to study it. Build a simple NEC model and compute the response for a range of frequencies, one after another. Write down the field strength at the same horizontal and vertical angle. Do the same for every other horizontal and vertical angle.

Time consuming? Sure, but you'll learn a lot. Oh -- and when you build that model, be sure to include signal return, whatever it is. Like the green wire running through the home that houses the noise source, maybe cable TV.

BTW -- there are very few devices that produce energy uniformly across the spectrum. The vast majority of electronic sources are the harmonics of switch-mode power supplies, variable speed motor controllers, or clocks for microprocessors. These are anything but uniform, showing up as "humps" of noise at intervals of 10-20 kHz, or steady carriers that don't move. The nature of these harmonic sources is that they get weaker with increasing frequency.
