[Mobile-Portable] Ignition noise in Toyota Sienna van

I have a TS-480 in my 04 Toyota Sienna van.  Everything works fine but
the van generates massive ignition noise.  The TS-480 blanker works
pretty well but the noise is so bad sometimes it really overwhelms the
blanker.  I would like to give the blanker some help by finding ways to
at least partially reduce the ignition noise.  Does anyone have any
experience with ignition noise reduction in late model Toyotas?  Is
there a web site which might help?  In the old days we would get things
like resistor plugs and resistor wires but I don't know if that is the
right thing to try on modern computer-controlled engines, etc.  Any
ideas?
