Slowly introduce them and let them together supervised. They will come around

The kitten probably is making the noises because she wants to come out and be friends and get to know her. Here is a website I found on Introducing kittens to existing cats:
Introducing a new cat to an existing one should be a very slow process, by keeping them separated at first but able to sniff each other through the crack of a door, until they are accustomed to the new scent. Then perhaps putting one of them (the newcomer) in a cage where the existing cat can come around and sniff some more and see that he is not a threat. It's also suggested to rub a towel on each cat and put it in the other cat's bed so he/she will become accustomed to the smell. Cats have a well-honed sense of smell and they use it to identify friends from strangers.
Once they get used to each other's scent, you can try re-introducing them, maybe by playing with them using a wand-type toy. Slow and easy is the key, and give each of them special attention without the other around. Although your older kitty may never be "best friends" with this little interloper, at the least, they will be able to tolerate each other. The good news is that may very well take a maternal interest in the kitten, once she realizes it is not a threat. I've seen this happen many times.
I'm not sure if any of this would work at this point, given the length of time they've already been together, but it's worth a try. I think it's important to give your older cat her own "safe room" where she can relax away from the little interloper. She should have her own food and water dishes, her own litter box and bed there, and you need to continue giving her plenty of love and affection.

Cat fight.... try using cat nip then playing with them both like string or what ever you like to play that entertains, get 2 seperate bowls of canned cat food and feed them in the same room they have a challenge for territory you have to keep them occupied somehow till they forget what the dispute was about, Its all cat politics.

the werid noises are her warning the cat to get away. you need to let them be in the same room, try holind one cat and have somone else hold the other bring them closer and closer. let them be in the same area, they wont kill eachother or anything maybe fight a little but i've had plenty of cats and within time they became best friends, just be patient.

He is making sexual sounds. Are your mother's cats females? He should be neutered or he will start spraying on everything to mark his territory.

Let them get to know each other slowly. Keep them apart.
They need to get use to each other. Here is a link. Good luck
