firstly, you have to have noise music in your heart bleeding into your head and daily reality before you can even begin to start to try to capture it with your instruments. Its not a manner of tuning, or tone, or set up, or wiring, or guitar selection, or effects chain, or any such matters. If you have noise music in your head, you can make it with nothing, the way Bach and Beethoven composed symphonies by notation without even having to play the instruments out.

Once you realize you have this in your head, if you have a bit of natural talent, you will find it sublimely coming out of your instrument. when natural harmonics or feedback arises, you will play with it and ride the resonance like a surfer rides a wave. You may discover certain tricks, such as ways to manipulate the wiring to get certain sounds, or to tap the neck to get feedback, or certain knob settings, various effects chains etc etc..

But the truth, is these will only accentuate what is already in your head.

From my perspective, I say start simple. Turn the volume down and the gain up on your amp, plug in a guitar and play around with the introductionary open tuning, (the drop D) and see what comes out. A simple effects chain to play with this is a delay pedal. From there, let the guitar take you on an adventure. The tricks of the trade to get noise, these only come from experience so keep literally playing around with your guitar, and you will stumble into the right things. Also, smoke some weed, it helps.
