It is if you're trying to figure out something far away, smoke signals
come to mind (seriously).

Any amount of noise seen (aside from AWGN, obviously) in the world is not
a big deal. We have pretty neat ways to clean up noise in bandwidth
channels. ;)

http://www.comtechefdata.com/technologies/doubletalk is one of the plays
we roll out all the time.

Applied Signal (father of ninja magic mentioned above) had offices in
Crypto City, but were eaten by Raytheon a while back and I'm unsure if
they're still around. Food for thought, but really - don't sweat the noise.

can be done but many of those are not useful.

I could encode communications in fireworks displays, but that's not
effective for any sort of communication system.

I think you might be applying an oversimplified assumption the
situation.   Noise limits the capacity of a channel,  and increases
the number of gyrations required to encode a bit, so that it can be
received without error.

The degree of 'random noise',  'actual latency variation',  and
'natural packet ordering'  can be estimated, to identify the noise.

Even with noise, you can figure out,  that the  average value which
the errors were centered around increased by  5ms or 10ms,  when a
sequence of packets with certain sizes,  certain checksum values,  and
certain  ephemeral ports  were   processed in a certain sequence,
after a sufficient number of repetitions.
