A loop is where a thread/rope/string, etc bends round so the string crosses over - like the handwritten letter 'e' - or almost crosses over or touches. A noose is much more specific - the string (or whatever) is in a loop, but tied, usually with a knot that can slide up and down the string, so if something is in the loop, and pulls, the loop gets smaller. This word is usually only used in the context of hanging a person (to kill them) - a 'hangman's noose'.

A loop is something (such as a piece of string or a roller coaster track) that folds back over itself to form a circle-like shape. The verb "to loop" on the other hand refers to anything that travels in a path that resembles a loop (i.e. "the comet looped around the Earth before traveling back into space").
A noose is a type of loop that is tied in a particular way so that it will close
