And if you remember shannon's law, you can send and receive data just fine below the noise floor.
The lower you go, the less each unit of additional noise harms you, since your bandwidth is roughly proportional to your signal to noise ratio (when it's below 1). When someone is trying to receive a short "signal" like a key, no amount of noise is going to help for long.
