I agree that if you are not hooked up to the AC line there is less noise. All my battery sets are pretty much able to null out the noise. It may not be the ideal direction for the station, but it becomes 100% readable.
My electric service feed runs parallel to my driveway, and as soon as I back my car in, you can hear it in the cars radio. Definitely riding on the 3 service feeds on the one transformer.
I think the white noise is from the cable TV distribution line. I disconnected the cable feed at the arrestor box so it wouldn’t carry into the house. I doubt the two fiber internet feeds carry noise, as there is no RF noise source there, but I could be wrong. My fiber seems quiet.
