What happens if you turn all cache files off and turn all Performance Modes off? I'm guessing it's getting cached to a lower-res format, and that's hiding the noise that's always there.
If it were me, I'd just render it out, throw some NR on it, and live with it. I'd have to know more about the exposure and real before/after Waveform Parade images to judge if it's underexposed or not, but that's my gut feeling: you're seeing noise that's really there. Pushing the exposure harder in final color just makes it worse.
