I have a Zoom H5 and it's great, couldn't be happier. As others have pointed out, it won't make a hoots difference with unwanted noise unfortunately.
FWIW OP, The Zoom will still capture the sounds you don't want it to, but it helped me get rid of them. It was awareness mostly. Identifying the noises was the biggest part, within weeks of doing that and recording every day they were gone. Having a high quality practice recorder and using it daily does help in that way. For me I just wasn't aware that I'd gotten a bit hand and arm lazy. Once I was, it was quite easy to erase most of the stuff was annoying me.
I turn my a/c and my refrigerator off when I'm recording. I have a small place and it sort of sounds like an airplane taking off in the background if I don't.
