Default HELP!! More Antenna Noise

So I was wondering exactly what
kind of loading/matching, would there be in this antenna, that is able

Hi Tim,

Absolutely none.

Try carrying your receiver around with that same small helical antenna
attached, and turned on for monitoring. Walk through the hallways
nearby your apartment on your floor, and the floors above and below
you.

Go outside and do the same around the block. All of this shouldn't
take more than an hour and should be conclusive. As you go along, you
might try alternating between the small helical antenna and the simple
half metre telescopic antenna which does pull in this noise.

Finally, what does the noise sound like?
