Interesting - but then again, what is "noise"?
Hmmm, i guess your point with the reference is that when perceiving
one takes snapshots (measurements) of a statistical function (the wave
function).
However, there are widespread methods to tell one statistical
distribution ("noise") from another one ("noise").
See e.g. expectation maximization (EM) in (Gaussian) mixture models
(GMM), a popular technique in Music Information Retrieval.

Why shouldn't human listeners be able to maximize their expectations
as well?
