Frequency is actually the clock frequency error, measured in PPM (parts per million). Usually not more than a few tens of PPM. > Another undefined variable is noise. Nor the manual neither the RFC > does mention it. (It's value is in the 37-200 range and quite unstable.) Maybe you mean jitter or stability? I don't see anything called noise from readvars in ntpq, if you could cut and paste showing where the phrase occurs I think we could help you. 37 to 200 ms might be typical jitters for a congested network connection. I think different versions of ntpq use different units for jitter, some using ms and some using seconds.
