Comment on Confirmed: Voyager 1 in interstellar spaceparent

That's exactly the problem. Because Pioneer was spin-stabilized, it didn't need to fire thrusters, so the noise wasn't there and the anomaly could be measured. Voyagers aren't spin-stabilized, so they have to fire thrusters quite frequently. That makes it impossible to measure a small enough effect on them.
