Default downward noise reducing ant?

hi

I've been using a dipole antenna about 30ft each side connected to a
sgc tuner with about 5ft of ladderline . this is mounted on my roof's
elevator shack.

recently the elevator gear was upgrated to modern stuff and i've
suffered with s9 steady but intermittant (sounds like noise level
/background noise) 3min on 3min off like noise from 1-30mhz ever since
it's mostly strongest from 1-7mhz and heavest on 80m

SO my building wo'nt let me get to crazy antenna wise but my
question is

is there a type of antenna i could put up such that it would be
very def below the antenna or something i could do that would
accomplish this effect? and mitigate the interference perhaps??

would say a regular 3 element beam reduce the noise or just perhaps
'amplify' it how about a verticle w/ few radials? or something i am
overlooking

my last choice and what i'd guess building wouldn't approve would be
to put 2 receive only stearing verticles away from the elevator room
not sure if that'd work technically but the other parts of the roof
are off limits to me so i'd be a VERY hard sell but i wonder if that'd
help or just ultimately be too noisy as verticles sometimes are


i don't have any other mounting locations nor any luck w/the elevator
company

just looking for some suggestings


thanks all


happy holidays
