please post a link to a small example image showing the kind of noise and resolution of the noise. there are many ways, but they depend upon the noise and scale/resolution of the noise how effective they are.

You can try several function: -median, -despeckle, -enhance.

Or you can try some of my noise filtering scripts, see link below.
