Default FM without 'pink noise'

I wanna know how can I get the FM signal without that
nasty 'pink' noise. I'm not using any kind of external antenna.

An FM receiver needs a certain minimum level of r-f voltage at its antenna
input terminals to meet its noise performance specification. Stereo mode
requires more r-f than monaural, for the same S/N at the receiver output.

No doubt if you use an antenna capable of giving your receiver the r-f
input signal it needs, your noise level will drop to inaudibility (at
least with normal programming).

In addition to Richard's comments, many higher quality FM receivers employ a
"muting" switch on the front panel.
The Kenwood KT-8300 has 2 selectable mute settings in addition to off
while the NAD 4020B has a single setting with an on/off switch.
