It's hard to reduce the background noise of records, but it's possible and always worthwhile; the reduction of static helps in two ways: (1) less discharge noises, (2) less attraction of particles by the record.
The best way to achieve this is to (1) clean the record with a record cleaning machine and appropriate fluids (I recommend using Vinyl-Zyme first and L'art Du Son last) and (2) use an anti-static pistol. I have the Milty, which works.

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.
