It is if you're trying to figure out something far away, smoke signals
come to mind (seriously).

Any amount of noise seen (aside from AWGN, obviously) in the world is not
a big deal. We have pretty neat ways to clean up noise in bandwidth
channels. ;)

http://www.comtechefdata.com/technologies/doubletalk is one of the plays
we roll out all the time.

Applied Signal (father of ninja magic mentioned above) had offices in
Crypto City, but were eaten by Raytheon a while back and I'm unsure if
they're still around. Food for thought, but really - don't sweat the noise.
