No. The noise is dependent on the charge sensitivity of the sensing element and the electronic component selected for the amplifier. Merely increasing the amplifier gain to give a higher voltage output only serves to amplify the noise along with the signal. However, in some cases, this technique may serve to reduce the contribution of data collector noise.
