Both are correct. If you heard one noise = I heard a noise. If you heard several noises = I heard noises (such as a conversation plus items dropping).
I heard a noise. Did you drop something in the bathroom?
Yes, I dropped my rinse cup.
Are you OK?
Yes, I'm fine.

Yes, the conversation does sound natural.
Both sentences are correct, because the singular "noise" and the plural "noises" are correct.

@Emma-666 I've never heard anyone say "rinsing cup." I actually call it "the cup I use for rinsing" :) Both "rinse cup" and "rinsing cup" sound odd to me.
