We investigate the modification of quantum noise in the phase quadratures of the resonance fluorescence of an atom dressed by an intense laser field and coupled to a frequency-tunable cavity mode with finite bandwidth. The in-phase quadrature of the atomic fluorescence emitted from the side of the cavity exhibits two-mode squeezing at the Rabi sideband frequencies. The squeezing may be greatly enhanced (or inhibited) by appropriately tuning the cavity resonant frequency.
