I looked up this paper. The noise which is referred to is not auditory or acoustic noise. It refers to an electric signal which is random and is applied via electrodes to the brain. A typical acoustic random noise is like that you get from ocean waves. Electrical noise has similar characteristics and can be imagined as the signal one would get if one used a microphone to pick up the ocean waves. On could then amplify that signal and apply it to electrodes on the brain. To what extent this would help is unclear since the surface of the brain represents the total activity of the brain and only vaguely represents specific portions. On a side note the processes in the brain consist of both random signals and those that carry information. In fact it is thought that random components are necessary for proper functioning of the brain. K.
