You've kind of painted yourself into a corner by use of the word "noise", seeing as that term tends, these days, to refer to a particular genre whose whole raison d' etre is abrasiveness and thus, to the masses, unlistenability. I like non-mainstream music, but if you (as someone who knows about non-mainstream music) asked me why I like Noise (note the capital "N" to denote the genre rather than the subjective opinion), I'd say "I don't". Someone who doesn't know about non-mainstream music would be more likely to ask "why do you like this noise (or, more likely, this racket)?", and I would explain to them (or try to, anyway) that there are beautiful melodies in this music, just as much as in the more mainstream stuff that they listen to, and that I just happen to like the context in which those melodies are set in this particular music.
