In that sub, sure. But the SNR will typically increase from averaging subs, even including such poorer ones. That's why we stack, after all. As long as the noise is not too extreme in any of the subs, as I said. I was just trying to work out how extreme the noise need be before it doesn't help the final SNR of the stack and actually lowers it.

Absolutely
