Yes, the first step would be to reduce or set to zero the Mic Boost in 
alsamixer and adjust the Capture volume.  However, noise with arecord is 
usually a result of incorrect bitrate?

You could try:

arecord -fdat -r 48 test.wav

Also, make sure any hardware buttons have been enabled and the mic is not 
muted.  Additional options may be required to use the correct input device and 
driver, which can be specified in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
