    In what context are we talking about a ground.Low voltage or 120/240? In a regular house circuit the ground only acts as a safety and does not carry any current. Old house circuits had no ground. Low voltage DC circuits ground the negative side and it carries current.What noise are you talking about?

    Improper "Shielding" can allow noise to transmitted and received depending on the type of device being used.

    There are grounding installations or connections that
    Can cause circulating currents and "noise".
    See IEEE stnd 1100 for an in depth study of grounding.
