Its not noise. However, check out the installation manual. It tells
you how to submit an installation report via the BTS with email to
bugs.debian.org to the (I think) installation-reports psudo-package.
The 'maintainer' for the reports is the debian-boot team who write the
installer.
I would suggest that you subscribe to debian-boot, follow the
instructions in the manual and submit an installation report. Since
they know how the installer works, they can be of more specific help.
They certainly were when I was in your shoes 8 months ago.
Good luck,
Doug.
