A system for reducing noise in a signal line, through which upward signals
and downward signals are transmitted between a center and terminals,
includes a noise-reduction device provided between the center and the
terminals. The noise-reduction device attenuates the upward signals by an
increased amount when a noise increase regarding the upward signals is
detected on the signal line. The system further includes a noise-control
device, provided at terminals, which boosts a transmission level of the
upward signals by an amount compensating for the attenuation of the
upward signals by the noise-reduction device.
