Nope! That is what intuition would say, but in reality, it just overpowers the signal you are trying to receive with noise (think gray static on a tv along with that characteristic hissing noise) that is at a higher power/amplitude/volume than the signal itself

That makes it cooler in my opinion. It also kind of reminds me of Spaceballs, with the raspberry jam.
