Qualitative evidence of the microscopic nature of gases is shown by an effect called Brownian motion.

This motion, in combination with air currents, is how a smell travels.

Probably not. "Noise" consists of sound waves, which travel, appropriately enough, at the speed of sound ... something like 340 meters per second. "Smell" consists of molecules or particles that physically travel from the source to your nose. Almost by definition, the speed of the physical particles has to be less than the speed of sound waves in air.
