How long is the connection? If it is less than a few feet it is probably not line noise. Why is the 2k2 resistor there? Are both chips running off of the same supply voltage and ground? Is the transmitter pulling the high and low, not just letting it go high impedance? One quick thing to try: put a small cap from the data line to ground. This will reduce transients, but will delay the signals by R*C.
