Totally depends. It's easy to imagine a situation where responding to a noise complaint would ideally finish with a warning.

The data is specifically referring to officer initiated traffic stops. Noise complaints are often reported by neighbors and then responded to.

So cops are just stopping drivers and giving them warnings. It sounds like harassment to me.
