How about the word "рохоба" [rohoba] in Dahl Dictionary of Russian Language? The word not only represents the classical Kartvelian 'oba'-ending masdar. In Kursk dialect it used to mean, among other things, 'noise', 'ado'.
In modern Kartvelian language we don't see როხობა [rohoba]. But we do see როხვა [rohva], which means 'talking nonsense'. Very close to both noise and ado. Anyway, both words use 'roh' as their root.
