You can filter out some noise if that happens. I have done several
arduino projects (namely public installations or sculptures with
sensors), one thing I learned is that you can always filter the (some)
noise, by ignoring some values and so forth.
Another fun aspect is that in public installations whenever I connected
the arduino to the AC power outlets (instead of battery) the noise was
much higher. (which makes sense, since AC powers of houses, steet, etc..
are actually noisy (have you ever noticed that AC induces noise on most
laptop on-board sound-cards - due to ground loop and so forth) )

But don't panic about it, its workable. You can defined thresholds, and
if it varies withing a certain range you will not consider as the pot
has moved, if you do not have noise: even better. But electricity is not
perfect, components are definitely not perfect either :)
Best,
