<p><em>Noise</em> can be countable or uncountable. "My neighbour makes a lot of noise and disturbs my sleep." Or, "my neighbour makes lots of noises and disturbs my sleep." There is a subtle difference here. The first just means noise in general. The second implies several different noises, for example music, shouting, banging on the walls, etc.</p>
