Overall it is usually assumed that there are four major types of noise:

Tool noiseReservoir flow noisePipe flow noiseCompletion noise
Any electronic device generates the acoustic noise which may not be audible for human ear but can be easily captured by high-sensitivity noise tool A reservoir flow generates noise as an acoustic noise as the percolation process is never laminar and micro-turbulence in pore-to-pore fluid migration dissipate the kinetic energy through acoustic waves and heat migration is accompanied by density variation which creates pressure pulse propagation which is then called the acoustic noise. 

A pipe flow generates noise when it develops and acoustic noise when it starts developing a turbulence. The turbulence is accompanied by density variation which creates pressure pulse propagation which is then called the acoustic noise.

The completion elements often force turbulence in the streamlining fluid flow which again generates acoustic noise.
