Assuming you're just seeking to characterize noise from other AP(s) on
same/adjacent channel, as opposed to noise from a non-802.11 device, it may
also be helpful to test against the noise density.  E.g. activity level of
colliding neighbor wifi AP traffic.  Your own radios under test may perform
differently in the presence of consistent neighbor AP noise (i.e. long
sustained downloads) vs sporadic noise, especially if the sporadic noise
has a frequency component comparable to the period your radio waits before
re-negotiating bitrate.

For example, the radios stimulating noise could run a simple script that
wget's a large-ish file from a remote URL to /dev/null, each iteration
delayed by a pseudo-random wait period (by reading /dev/random and scaling
the result).  Varying the wait periods in the 100-1000ms range likely would
give a good approximation of "organic" wifi AP traffic.
