Originally planned for a late 2003 release,{{cite web|url=http://www.capitolmusic.ca/2003/skye/ |title=Skye Sweetnam e-card |date=July 3, 2003 |accessdate=October 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070308153431/http://www.capitolmusic.ca/2003/skye/ |archivedate=March 8, 2007 }} the release of Sweetnam's debut album was postponed several times by the record label, being pushed back to April,{{cite web |url=http://www.andpop.com/2004/01/12/skye-sweetnam-album-due-out-in-april/ |title=Skye Sweetnam due out in April |author=Adam Gonshor |date=January 12, 2004 |publisher=andpop.com |accessdate=October 29, 2012}} then May{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna4496320 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102195146/http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/4496320 |url-status=live |archive-date=November 2, 2012 |title=Image is everything on Britney's new tour |author=Darryl Morden |date=March 10, 2004 |publisher=MSNBC |access-date=October 29, 2012}} and finally August{{cite web |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1487156/sky-sweetnam-cools-off-during-britney-break.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110701030453/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1487156/sky-sweetnam-cools-off-during-britney-break.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 1, 2011 |title=Skye Sweetnam Juggles Hot Britney Tour With Cold Pork Chops |author=Jon Wiederhorn |date=May 20, 2004 |publisher=MTV |accessdate=October 29, 2012}} of the following year before its official release in September of that year.

Noise From The Basement was subject to many comparisons among critics with Avril Lavigne due to their similarities – same nationality and resembling attitude{{cite web |last=Wiederhorn |first=Jon |date=July 1, 2004 |title=Skye Sweetnam Calls Herself 'Bubblegum Britney,' So Critics Don't Have To |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1488820/skye-sweetnam-pulls-fast-one-on-critics.jhtml |publisher=MTV News |access-date=June 21, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110701063650/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1488820/skye-sweetnam-pulls-fast-one-on-critics.jhtml |archive-date=July 1, 2011 |url-status=dead}} although Skye has described herself as being more "girly-girl" than her and mentioned that after hearing both albums, she could not find any real similarities between their sound.

Three songs from Noise from the Basement were released as singles. "Billy S." was released as the lead single, followed by "Tangled Up In Me" and "Number One". "Superstar" was released as a standalone track on iTunes.

Prior to the release of her debut album, Sweetnam toured in summer camps in the American Camplified Tour, from July to August 2003.{{cite press release|publisher=Alternative Venue Entertainment |date=July 14, 2003 |url=http://skyesweetnam.com/press_camplified.html |title=A brand new audience for concerts rock show tours summer camps |accessdate=October 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20031208180607/http://skyesweetnam.com/press_camplified.html |archivedate=December 8, 2003 }} In September, she performed in some venues in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.{{cite web|url=http://skyesweetnam.com/dates.html |title=Skye Sweetnam tour dates |date=September 2, 2003 |accessdate=October 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20031007215718/http://skyesweetnam.com/dates.html |archivedate=October 7, 2003 }} She was also the opening act for Britney Spears' Onyx Hotel Tour and performed in the United States, Canada and Europe in the Spring of 2004. About that experience, she said:

"I love catching people off guard. That's why opening for Britney was so great. I was playing for people who had no idea who I was and had never heard my music. And by the end of the set, a lot of them found themselves really getting into it."

Skye was supposed to continue opening for Britney in the Summer, when the tour was going to return for a second round of concerts, but the Onyx Hotel Tour was eventually cancelled due to Spears injuring her knee.{{cite web |url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,652994,00.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014193352/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,652994,00.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=October 14, 2007 |title=Britney Cancels Tour Due to Bad Knee |author=Stephen M. Silverman |author-link=Stephen M. Silverman |date=June 16, 2004 |publisher=People |accessdate=October 29, 2012}} Following cancellation, Sweetnam regretted that it could no longer be used to promote Noise from the Basement, stating:

"It was kind of disappointing (when Britney hurt her knee) because we had this whole media hype behind the tour. It would have worked really well for a lead up for my album."{{cite web |url=http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040729/ENTERTAIN/307299947 |title=Dog days of summer come early for concert tours |author=Ari Bendersky |date=July 29, 2004 |publisher=Record Online |accessdate=October 29, 2012}}

On August 5, 2004, she performed in the Fourth Annual Pantene Pro-Voice Concert, in New York City.{{cite web |url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/marie-digby-from-los-angeles-has-been-chosen-by-america-as-the-winner-of-the-national-pantene-pro-voice-music-competition-71417642.html |title=Marie Digby From Los Angeles Has Been Chosen by America as the Winner of the National Pantene Pro-Voice Music Competition |date=July 26, 2004 |work=PR Newswire |publisher=PR Newswire |accessdate=October 29, 2012}} Starting that month, she was a featured artist on AOL breakers for two months, and was also featured in a series of magazines, namely Rolling Stone, Blender, Teen People and Teen Vogue. Further promotion was backed up by a live performance of "Tangled Up In Me" in The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, one day before album's final release,{{cite web |url=http://www.billboard.com/news/tunesontv-1000633086.story#/news/tunesontv-1000633086.story |title=TunesOnTV |date=2004 |publisher=Billboard |accessdate=October 29, 2012}} and Sessions@AOL live performances a week earlier that same month.{{cite web|url=http://www.skyesweetnam.com/news.aspx |title=Sessions @ AOL |date=October 4, 2004 |accessdate=October 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060207093413/http://www.skyesweetnam.com/news.aspx |archivedate=February 7, 2006 }}
