I'd lean towards putting noise under 'nature' as it's uncontrollable.

A lot of people treat nature as "inherent". Noise has the implication that it is external.

Obviously, the case mentioned in the article is that there is an inherent property of the crawfish that modulates the effect of noise, which blurs this line.
