Noise is energy related. Air and pollution subjects are pollution concentration and time (not only concentration but also period).
Explanation:
If you have media (such as air) noise will be a problem (from source to the person/animal). It is energy related (check Hertz, decibel, etc.). A single source or many sources together can cause noise pollution.
Water pollution (surface water or groundwater) is related to the pollution and concentration of the agent.
Air pollution happens due to single source (e.g. a factory), a line (for example a busy road) or an area or volume (a large industrial field). However, pollutants and their reactions in the air can be different.
