We show how to calculate the charge noise spectrum in a normal mesoscopic conductor, which is capacitively coupled to a macroscopic gate, when this conductor is attached to L normal leads and M superconducting leads, the only restriction being that the superconducting leads must be at the same chemical potential. We then proceed to examine results for a quantum point contact (QPC) in a normal lead connecting to a superconductor. Of interest is the fluctuating current in a gate capacitively coupled to a QPC. The results are compared with the case when all leads are normal. We find a doubling of the equilibrium charge fluctuations and a large enhancement (>2) in the current noise spectrum to first order in |eV|, when a channel in the QPC is opening.
