I've walked around with my battery K2 listening next to power pole ground wires, buried power lines where they enter the ground.
Yes, and those wires are transmitting antennas, so they radiate that noise like any other antenna.
The earth is NOT a sump into which noise is poured; rather, it is sink for RF current, which simply changes the boundary conditions for those antennas.
