Well Unfortunately I don't own my own place so a long wire antenna is just going to have to suffice for the time being since I can't drill holes in the wall at my place.

Understandable. Sometimes just getting the radio connected to a good earth ground can help, or even a separate long wire connected to the antenna ground can act as a counterpoise and cancel out some of that noise. Often it takes a lot of experimenting to find the best solution.
