I think you've missed the point here: the noise in the originals acts as dithering, and increases the resolution of the original video. This is similar to the noise introduced intentionally in astronomy[1] and in signal processing[2].

Smoothing the noise out doesn't make use of that additional resolution, unless the smoothing happens over the time axis as well.

Perfectly replicating the noise doesn't help in this situation.
