Noise is signal spread over a large bandwidth,  We tune our receivers to a frequency to copy signals in a relatively narrow bandwidth.  Nevertheless, there is some of that noise in that same bandwidth.  How does placing a resistor or choke to ground reduce the noise while not reducing the signal at the same time?

Since verticals are know to be "noisy" on receive, and a fix is a rf choke or 
bleeder resistor to ground, anyone try that on short verticals used for receive only to 
quiet some noise?
