During the early 90s, while attending Salesian College secondary school in Celbridge, Noonan, joined the band as drummer. He later attended university at Trinity College, Dublin and completed a degree in computer engineering. Juniper had by this time gained a significant following and signed a multi-album deal with Polygram in 1997. Two singles were recorded before frontman Damien Rice left the band and moved to Tuscany, Italy to work on solo material. The remaining band members (David Geraghty, Dominic Phillips & Brian Crosby) continued to play together and eventually formed Bell X1 with Noonan as their vocalist. Rice, meanwhile, has released solo albums including O, 9 and My Favourite Faded Fantasy.
Noonan plays drums on some of Bell X1's studio recordings and has been known to occasionally play drums at live performances if a session drummer is not available. Currently, Tim O'Donovan (who also fronts electro-pop act NeoSuperVital) is the band's live drummer. Noonan most commonly plays guitar, percussion and kazoo. Noonan has also appeared, and was among the producers on the 2006 charity album, The Cake Sale. In October 2007, he played drums as part of Irish singer Cathy Davey's touring band and regularly works with Gemma Hayes where he has featured on her EPs, her debut album Night On My Side providing backing vocals and drums and her 2008 album The Hollow of Morning. He also appeared on her fourth album in May 2011.

Solo career - Printer Clips
On 20 February 2012, Hot Press reported that Noonan would release his first solo effort, featuring collaborations with leading female artists such as Gemma Hayes, Martha Wainwright, Joan Wasser and more to be confirmed. The yet to be titled album is expected to be released in late 2012. The album's release was delayed until May 2014 due to his commitment touring, recording and releasing Chop Chop with Bell X1. In May 2014 Noonan joined many of the female singers who featured on Printer Clips debut album at Ireland's National Concert Hall. In August 2014, Noonan confirmed a new Printer Clips tour of Ireland this December 2014 with Noonan touring alongside Gemma Hayes.
