"He's thoroughly enjoying the way he's playing here at the moment. He's got a smile on his face everyday, he looks like a happy man when he's out there playing."
Looking ahead to Saturday's clash with Manchester City, Noble says the Hammers are in a confident mood: "It's a good atmosphere here now, it helps when you're winning games. But we know it's early days we're not going to get carried away with being fourth. Saturday is a massive day against Man City. I know the boys are buzzing for it and hopefully we can give them a good game.
"This is certainly the best start to a season I've ever been involved with. There's a buzz around the place and I'm really enjoying it."
Despite City playing away the Champions League in midweek, Noble knows the Hammers will be in for a tough test this Saturday.
He concluded: "I don't think there is ever a good time to play them. They have got such a big squad full of top quality players. But at the moment we're playing well, we can go out and attack and be confident. We'll take the game to them and see what happens."
