are you using the right kind of cassettes for your decks, if you are using crome tapes and your tape machine doesn't have a crome switch, that will cause extra noise, also same with metal tapes etc. amp and speakers could also be making the problem worse than it actually is if you have some speaker hiss present at all times. the dolby options are on the machine and don't remove an audible amount then there isn't much you can do. clean the heads of your machine. were the tapes fresh or used. what is the bran and model number of your deck?
and here is some good info from a well know engineer and author
