Why would a user ever select the 'high noise' option?
My guess is power saving? Probably not enough to be relevant
in a system running Linux.
I would suggest just not supporting that option.
It is not uncommon for some modes to make limited sense and
to just be there as an artefact of the underlying hardware
architecture. Doesn't mean we have to support them :)
