We have calculated the finite-frequency current noise of a superconductor-ferromagnet quantum point contact (SF QPC). This signal is qualitatively affected by the spin-dependence of interfacial phase shifts (SDIPS) acquired by electrons upon reflection on the QPC. For a weakly transparent QPC, noise steps appear at frequencies or voltages determined directly by the SDIPS. These steps can occur at experimentally accessible temperatures and frequencies. Finite frequency noise is thus a promising tool to characterize the scattering properties of a SF QPC.
