Depends on what you mean by noise.

I assume you mean entries in access.log ...

The relevant directive is in your config file as "cache_access_log".
Nowdays that should be configured as:

  access_log /squid/logs/access.log squid

the line can be followed by a list of ACL names, all of which must match
for a transaction to be recorded in the log file.

For example; in order to log only requests for example.com

  acl example1 dstdomain example.com
  access_log /squid/logs/access.log squid example1

... or in order to omit all CONNECT requests:

  # ACL for CONNECT is already defined.
  access_log /squid/logs/access.log squid CONNECT
