I'm not Rob, but...

It's really very simple: When the sensor elements get smaller, obviously 
less light will hit each of them during an exposure. This means that the 
electric signals representing the pixels get weaker, and the noise will 
be more significant in comparison. (The noise does not change, at least 
not significantly, with the element size.)
