Is it still noisy if you take the Rate led out of the circuit ?
If the noise disappears, it's probably the led.
I can see four possible solutions :
- try a different low-current led.
- increase the led resistor up to something between 15 or 20k.
- get rid of the Rate led for good.
- re-work most of your solder pads, to get some beautiful dome-shaped soldering joints. (this solution might work too if you still have noise without the Rate led)
Edit: I wonder if it's really safe to bend the legs of your components on such a dense circuit, with traces so close to the pads... I would have thought this is an invitation fo shorts... a welcome party, so to speak, if you'll pardon my english.
On the contrary, I've always been taught that legs should point upward, so that you can lift your iron along the leg, thus achieving a dome-shaped solder joints ?
