Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'noise' (unwanted disturbances) combined with 'conditions' (state or circumstances) yields 'conditions characterized by noise' which matches the provided definition. This is a transparent, noun+noun conceptual combination common across languages and should be inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents, even if the context is somewhat technical.
Etymology
The term noise conditions comes from the everyday idea of noise, like a busy room where loud sounds make it hard to hear someone. The word conditions means the situation, so noise conditions describes a situation where unwanted disturbances make a signal or message 'unclear'.
