*** Doubtful. The dimmer is radiating some of that noise through the
air, otherwise your noise-suppression efforts with the antennas would
have done nothing. It might help for whatever component of that is
getting through the neighbor's box , out to the main lines and then
back through your box, but my guess is that the
radiated-through-the-air component is the larger one, and you appear to
have done what you can for that already.
