Note
The y of noisy turns to i before the suffix, the usual spelling rule for two-syllable adjectives in -y, and the inflected form is the natural choice over more noisy. It carries every meaning of the base word: a noisier room is louder, a noisier pattern is more garish and attention-grabbing, and in data work a noisier signal has more random fluctuation obscuring the real values.
