I know that tha cover says Noise but...just curious.
Sascha Dikiciyan liked his Zs. Online, he'd often type certain song titles inconsistently, either with a Z or an S. It could be "Quake 3 Arena: Noise", or it could be "Quake 3: Arena Noize" (note also the colon on the latter title directly after the number 3, making the subtitle "Arena Noize"). I followed Sonic Mayhem a lot years back, before and directly after the "Q3A:N" album was released, and read and downloaded whatever I could on sonicmayhem.com.

Another Z swapped with an S would be the SM track "Arms Bazaar" from the "Tomorrow Never Dies" video game soundtrack, where on the "Sonic Mayhem: Music for Visual Media" CD (http://lostvgm.com/vgmrush/album.php?id=308), it was retitled "Armz Bazaar".

So, really, that's the best explanation I can give: Sascha liked his Zs. For this particular album, I always preferred to go with the printed "Quake 3 Arena: Noise" title, rather than "Quake 3: Arena Noize". If I recall, Sascha would even type the song "Noise Purge" as "Noize Purge", yet inconsistently—looking at a defunct page at sonicmayhem.com (http://www.sonicmayhem.com/frames/fr...ml#quake3arena), it's typed "Noise Purge", even though the album title is "Quake 3: Arena Noize", but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it typed "Noize Purge" on the website all those years back.
