I am not convinced that good "noise" music is easy to produce: one must still define and select the process and parameters, and judge the end results as worthy or not, which requires at least a certain skill of aesthetic judgement. In terms of technique alone, yes, the results are probably easier to produce (unless on is building their own instruments or writing their own software!). 3
