We study theoretically the current-noise energy dependence for a N-N'-S structure, where N and S stand for bulk normal metal and superconductor, respectively, and N' for a short diffusive normal metal. Using quasiclassical theory of current fluctuations we obtain explicit expressions for the noise valid for arbitrary distributions of channel transparencies on both junctions. The differential Fano factor turns out to depend on both junction transparencies and the ratio of the two conductances. We conclude that measurement of differential conductance and noise can be used to probe the channel distribution of the interfaces.
