contents Using the Dirac string formalism for monopoles we expose an extensive analogy between magnetic monopole excitations in the dumbbell model of spin ice and those of the vacuum. In both cases the Dirac strings are defined in the space-time of monopole trajectories which are simulated in spin ice using transition graphs between initial and final configurations. The Stanford experiment for Dirac monopole detection is reconstructed in spin ice using the fragmentation procedure. The setup is then extended to simulate magnetic noise experiments using stochastic dynamics. It is shown that the noise from the monopoles and their constraining strings can be separated and that the correlated signal over long times comes largely from the constraining strings rather than from the monopoles themselves.
