Morphology
The meaning 'to produce or emit a sound' is directly derived from 'make' (to cause or produce) combined with 'noise' (an audible disturbance). This is a productive, compositional pattern (make + noun = produce X) found cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Make noise paints a simple picture: make means to create and noise means a sound people hear, like someone shouting or banging a pot, so it means 'to make a sound' or 'to be loud'.
