I know that sound.

Should it be translated to “noise” in English?

No. “noise” means “Lärm” (unpleasant sound).

“Geräusch” means “sound”.

I know this sound.

Should it be “that sound” or “this sound?” The AI explanation suggests the latter, but I don’t fully trust the AI without human concurrence.

In theory “this” would be “dieser/diese/dieses” and “that” would be “jener/jene/jenes”, but in current German language, we never really use “jener/jene/jenes” anymore, so I would say it could be either “this” or “that” depending on the context.
