My radio shows about S4 noise on15m when the beam is oriented towards the
nearest power pole.
What else is in that direction? One or more houses? A city? Any towers
that hold antennas for 2-way or cell systems?
Especially at higher frequencies like you're hearing, power doesn't
travel very far on wiring -- instead, the wire(s) near the source are
transmitting antennas. The fact that it's not very loud in your radio
suggests that the source is not very close.
There is S3 noise on 10m and almost none on 20m and below.
What's the spectrum of the noise? Does it peak at different spots in the
bands, or is it about the same strength anywhere you tune? That could
yield a clue as to whether it's power line noise or electronic noise.

The noise is canceled completely with NB so I assume it must be from
a single source.
Not necessarily -- it WOULD be if noise cancelling could reduce it a lot.
