Gorka --

That's a fairly common problem with noise generator modules because of 
their high gain.  In my present unit I decouple the power for the 
transistor and first opamp using 3.3V Zeners and 22 uF caps.  I wouldn't 
share the high gain stage chip with any other circuit, i.e., use a single 
opamp.
