The noise apparently comes in from nl80211 only if the driver sets the
SURVEY_INFO_NOISE_DBM flag for the NL80211_CMD_GET_SURVEY request.  And
the only drivers that set this flag are ath10k, ath5k, ath9k, carl9170,
b43, b43legacy, libertas_tf, mwl8k, p54, and wl1251.  As you can see,
Intel is not on that list.  So no noise for you (or me!) :)
