Abundant Noise is a Special Research story connected to Pokemon GO's Noibat Community Day. It features four steps-worth of tasks and rewards, and players can unlock it by purchasing a special ticket from the in-game shop. For those fans that are trying to determine if they should make that purchase, this guide contains a complete list of the tasks and rewards that are available through Pokemon GO's Abundant Noise Special Research.
Before getting into the specifics of Abundant Noise's tasks and rewards, it is worth mentioning that the Special Research need not be finished during the Noibat Community Day event. However, it will be much more difficult to resolve after the event, due to a bonus that is described below, and Pokemon GO players are thus advised to put some effort toward completing it on Sunday, February 5.

To note, it is quite expensive to evolve Noibat into Noivern in Pokemon GO, requiring players to spend a whooping 400 Candies. Fortunately, fans will receive double Catch Candy for the duration of the Noibat Community Day event, significantly increasing the rate at which they can earn Noibat Candy.
Players can increase the rate of Candy acquisition even further by using Pinap Berries during their catches and having a Level 3 Dragon- or Flying-type Mega-Evolved Pokemon active. Indeed, fans that employ both of these strategies will earn 14 Noibat Candies per catch during PoGO's Noibat Community Day event, allowing them to accumulate the requisite 400 Candies in less than 30 catches.
With respect to the rewards that can be earned through the completion of the Abundant Noise Special Research, they will come as no surprise to fans that have participated in some of the other recent Community Days. Indeed, these rewards are standard, and players that are typically hesitant to purchase Special Research are unlikely to feel differently this time around. That said, the Rocket Radar has some added value at this precise moment, due to the ongoing Team GO Rocket Takeover in Pokemon GO, and it may entice some fans to splurge on a ticket.
Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS devices.
