Is it a correct sentence? "It's kind of noisy. " Is it a correct sentence?

Yes, but it's not always appropriate.

This is an example of very informal, spoken English - it's a lazy, unpretentious way  of talking. While it's fine to say "kind of noisy"  in casual and neutral conversation, you wouldn't use it in a formal context.

In written English, you might use it in an informal message, but not elsewhere. For example, if a friend says "What's the hotel like?" and you answer "It's kind of noisy",, that's OK. But if you are writing a letter of complaint to a hotel or an article reviewing a washing machine, you would not use this phrasing - you would be expected to use a more standard, less colloquial, modifier.

These all mean generally the same thing:

It's kind of noisy.

It's a little noisy.

It's a bit noisy.

It's somewhat noisy.  (sounds formal)

It's slightly noisy.  (sounds formal)


If there is a lot of noise, you could say:

It's really noisy.

It's very noisy.

It's extremely noisy. (sounds formal.  It is also stronger than very and really.)

It's noisy as f$#%. (offensive, sounds uncultured to many people)

Yes sounds good to me.

Yes :) In the context of a place or an object. In a bar: "it's kind of noisy" or about a washing machine: "it's kind of noisy."
