What effect does the Noisy Armor Trait have on Stealth Check?
I couldn’t seem to find it in the rule book.
Thanks.

Yep this looks like an error. Also it only references Noisy in Exploration mode, which makes no sense as players will try to Stealth in combat too!
I can't quite figure out why it exists at all. Just... wear studded armor and bump Str to 12. Costs less and has no penalties at all. And at 5th, bump dex again and switch to leather.
Armor in this edition is a little strange. There isn't much point in wearing something you aren't built for, or buying a more expensive version of the same statline.

Actually, there is an exploration mode activity, called Avoid Notice. A Noisy armor just means that you are likely to alert people when you try to avoid notice.
There isn't a specific number penalty associated with it, but I guess it would be reasonable for the GM to increase the difficulty of the stealth check, by how much, it would depend on each gm.

Well, there is the Flexible trait that helps
