Of course there is noise reduction. CMOS is basically noisier than CCD. 
The advantage of CMOS, as I understand it, is that allows noise 
reduction at the sensor level. That seems to allow better control of 
noise with reduced side effects. I think Canon opts for a bit more of 
it for their trademark silky images. Both Kodak and Nikon have drawn 
the noise reduction line a bit differently in their CMOS cameras. 
Basically, though, any CMOS chip is going to have some basic noise 
reduction to equal or better the intrinsic noise level of a CCD.
