We investigate the shot noise generated by particle emission from a mesoscopic capacitor into an edge state reflected and transmitted at a quantum point contact (QPC). For a capacitor subject to a periodic voltage the resulting shot noise is proportional to the number of particles (both electrons and holes) emitted during a period. It is proportional to the product of transmission and reflection probability of the QPC independent of the applied voltage but proportional to the driving frequency. If two driven capacitors are coupled to a QPC at different sides then the resulting shot noise is maximally the sum of noises produced by each of the capacitors. However the noise is suppressed depending on the coincidence of the emission of two particles of the same kind.
