Noise is unusual on Hall setups, it one of their advantages.
What engine and trigger setup are you using?
How did you record the wav?

It is a volvo B230. Gt1 hall trigger, 2 bolts on flywheel, and original volvo B230 distributor (Bosch) with hall trigger, which is rebuild to give one signal hall trigger camsync. (4+1).
I record the wav with the notebook sound card.

I've sent the wav file to you by email :)

So I've stuck it in Audacity and this is the wave form:

I've never seen anything like that before...
What type are the triggers?

Graphs are maimed by AC character of oscilloscope. And signal is to "loud".
IMO normal signals.

Apparently the sound card isnt good at sampling a Hall trigger because it has a decoupling capacitor that will screw up the signals - and make them look like that ???

What are the symptoms that are leading you to suspect noise?

When misfire gets worse with increased dwell, then it's time to check the coils and wires, one of them probably sparks to chassis.
