In the noisy query model, the (binary) return value of every query (possibly repeated) is independently flipped with some fixed probability $p \in (0, 1/2)$. In this paper, we obtain tight bounds on the noisy query complexity of several fundamental problems. Our first contribution is to show that any Boolean function with total influence $Ω(n)$ has noisy query complexity $Θ(n\log n)$. Previous works often focus on specific problems, and it is of great interest to have a characterization of noisy query complexity for general functions. Our result is the first noisy query complexity lower bound of this generality, beyond what was known for random Boolean functions [Reischuk and Schmeltz, FOCS 1991]. Our second contribution is to prove that Graph Connectivity has noisy query complexity $Θ(n^2 \log n)$. In this problem, the goal is to determine whether an undirected graph is connected using noisy edge queries. While the upper bound can be achieved by a simple algorithm, no non-trivial lower bounds were known prior to this work. Last but not least, we determine the exact number of noisy queries (up to lower order terms) needed to solve the $k$-Threshold problem and the Counting problem. The $k$-Threshold problem asks to decide whether there are at least $k$ ones among $n$ bits, given noisy query access to the bits. We prove that $(1\pm o(1)) \frac{n\log (\min\{k,n-k+1\}/δ)}{(1-2p)\log \frac{1-p}p}$ queries are both sufficient and necessary to achieve error probability $δ= o(1)$. Previously, such a result was only known when $\min\{k,n-k+1\}=o(n)$ [Wang, Ghaddar, Zhu and Wang, arXiv 2024]. We also show a similar $(1\pm o(1)) \frac{n\log (\min\{k+1,n-k+1\}/δ)}{(1-2p)\log \frac{1-p}p}$ bound for the Counting problem, where one needs to count the number of ones among $n$ bits given noisy query access and $k$ denotes the answer.
