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.
