On the contrary:
1) The "noise during normal use" has to be measured in order to detect
the sensibility of the benchmarked program to that noise.
2) The noise the benchmarked program produces has to be measured too,
because the running benchmarked program probably increases the noise
for all other running programs.
In addition: the noise produced by a machine under heavy load might
bring the performance of the benchmarked program down to zero.
