Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'pooty' (a small playful flatulence sound) combined with 'noise' yields a silly sound that imitates flatulence. This follows a straightforward noun+noun/adj+noun pattern and is predictable (and cross-linguistically plausible via onomatopoeic formation), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Pooty noise comes from the tiny sound poot that people make to copy a 'fart', often by pressing their lips together and blowing or by using a hand on a table to make a soft pop. That's why it means 'a silly, fart-like sound'.
