It's optional in both, although on average, I'd lean the opposite way from what you suggest.

Use the a if you conceptualize the following noun as countable. Otherwise, leave out the a.
Since both mess and noise can be conceptualized either way, you may use a or not in each case. It depends on what is in your mind when you make the statement.
