Two different animals.
The voltage stability concern is a voltage regulator
The noise in the A/C line is a power conditioner.
A few products do both.
When a person speaks about a 'Power conditioner' they are referring to the noise in the line attenuator product, pretty much exclusively.
I cna say most anywhere in the USA folks do not need a voltage regulator. The usual voltage swings in a residential line do not merit bothering with. And for folks who do have problems, it is usually due to faulty equipment outside on your A/C grid. (IE complaining like hell to the utility provider should get it fixed.)
For powerline grunge, the power conditioner is the way to go.
They come in all sorts of flavors. Choose your poison.
est idea is start with a cheaper one, and see if it does ANYTHING you like, with some experiene one can find a power conditioner that does what you want, and not do what you don't like.
I started with ferrite claps, then Adcom, Monster cable, now A big Furman REF20i.
