You want to know how to reduce noise in a file that already exists, or
do you want to know how to make your recordings have less noise?

What kind of noise is this?

Can't help much without this kind of info...

That question is a bit vague.  Is the noise mixed in with music that you
want to keep, or is it noise that only happens when the guitar is
silent?  Is it the amp hiss, or a buzzing?  

If the guitar isnt playing, but the amp is making noise, then you can
use a noise gate to try and get that out.  Another technique ive used is
an expander to pull down the amp noise, then gate it.

If its noise that's part of the guitar track while the guitar is
playing, then you can try notch filters.  But beware that the notches
can take out some of the "good stuff" too.  

If the noise is mixed in with sound you want to keep, then it gets real
difficult to get it out.

Yes, more info is needed. Anyway, here are some hints. If you are using
single coils, like I do, you have got an antenna for electric fields.
Keep away from monitors, power supplies, computers. Try to play with two
single coils and to get the sound of just one single coil screw one near
to the strings and the other away from them. For amp recording forget
galvanic isolation, use microphones or if possible for the needed sound,
connect the guitar without an amp to the mixer. You can decouple Ground
by special capacitors, to be honest, sometimes I just switch ground off
without using a capacitor. I don't like gates, better reduce the level
in passages were you don't play the guitar when you do the mixing. I
don't like to cut away all the noise in those passages, but ... more
info is needed, e.g. a link to a sample if you can't describe the noise.
Eliminating noise for passages were you play the guitar IMO is nearly
impossible without damaging the guitars signal too.

I agree with Ralf, when you play there's nothing to do, except erase
noise before. It means reduce the overdrive level, cut some hiFreq if
noise is here... And of course give more infos to the list about the
kind of noise we're talking about !
