Cropping in itself won't add noise. But if one crops to a smaller image area and then upsizes the shot to the previous dimension, any noise that was in the original will be magnified. Also if working with jpegs rather than tiff file copies, recompression could leave some artifacts, but I doubt tney'd be visible at web sizes.

When I'm current on the PDML list, I sometimes take a few minutes scanning dpreview. This AM I looked at a shot that received some criticism for including extraneous elements better cropped off. The contributor cropped as suggested (one side of a vertical, as I remember without going back to it) and re-posted. The original critic responded with, "better, but the image now exhibits noise generated from the cropping." Followed by the suggestion there had been an excess of same.
PS'g noise generation? Hadn't noticed.
