The thing called a "filter" is not really a filter at all, its a
crossover network, that allows low frequencies (ie audio) through to
the phones, and high frequencies (above audio range) through to the
ADSL socket.

So noise on a phone line will not be affected either way by an ADSL
filter.  Look elsewhere.  Is the noise (which I presume is crackling
or humming etc) present when you plug a phone directly into the
front socket of the NTE?  If so, call BT.  If not, its your wiring.
