Step one: If you had an older MBP, it didn't have a Microphone Input. If it looked like this: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn-650.jpg ..like mine do, it had a Stereo Line-In and and Stereo Line-Out.

If you don't, then whatev...

Back in the Paleolithic, we would judge noise by watching a sound meter bounce. In my case it was the Hewlett-Packard 334A Distortion Analyzer used in straight voltmeter configuration.
