Regarding the noise, part of a hypnotic induction can include using the noises of the room to bring someone even deeper. One of the benefits of being hypnotized by someone trained is that you can let go of the wondering and just enjoy the relaxation of the session. After having the experiences with a trained hypnotist, being able to use a tape or video to practice self-hypnosis will be much, much easier.
If you just can't find someone to hypnotize you so you can experience it from a practiced person, then just relax into the session and remember that what LPC said is true, the imagination is powerful and whether 'real' or not, your session will be bringing you benefit - and more so the more you can relax into it.
