I would have to argue the opposite.  My Vortex is squeaky clean.  Yes, 
some 
of the odd effects when layed on thick can produce what some may call 
noise, 
others zaniness, but I've never heard a hum, hiss, buzz, etc as would be 
characteristic of a "noisy" unit.

(Now my SansAmpGT2 distortion pedal on the other hand...)
