Yes if the noise is such that the officer believes someone's life or well being is in danger.
Example Yes - "No No No" pop and thud. Yes the officer would be going in the door.
Example No - A loud stereo

i called the police on one of my neighbors a few years ago. we lived in apartment complex and they were having a party on a weeknight till all hours of the morning....after listening to them race up and down the drive and then take turn squealing tires i called the police.
they came out and knocked on the noisy residence. they asked to come in and i heard the snotty girl say:not unless you have a warrant. so the renters stepped out in the hallway and the police never entered the apartment. now i think if they had seen drinking or something of that nature and could tell someone might be underage then they could have entered.

If, at the door. or through a window the officer sees or suspects that more egregious unlawfulness is taking place, then yes, he may enter a residence.
Do I like this? No, I do not, but I understand it for what if a child or some other person needs help and can;t call out for help.

Sure..if the noise violation suggests that there is something more in progress.
Plus, police will kinda saunter their way into your home, and of course you are intimidated, but the very fact that you did not instruct them to stay at the front door is your fault not theirs.

I am not a lawyer, however, I believe that police cannot enter without a search warrant. Unless you voluntarily let them in.

Probable Cause gives them the ability to do many things however they must leave if they find nothing.

In my state they can. I'm not sure if it's nation wide they can if they suspect someones life could be in danger. Here they can if they suspect drugs and it's all they have to claim.

Sure. Excessive noise is breaking the law, isn't it?
