Does DPF regeneration make a noise?

After repeated short drives in a diesel does DPF regeneration make a noise and raise the engine rpm?

You might then get active regeneration that basically uses post injected diesel to start a fire in the DPF to burn off the soot and the noise will be the electric cooling fan coming on to try to cool the car down.

I owned an Evoque that had issues with the DPF. But when a diesel flags up that the DPF needs a regen, how long time or distance wise do you have to get it on a motorway/dual carriageway before the fuel...
Are engine revs raised during DPF regeneration on a Nissan Qashqai?
How do I know if my car is in a DPF regeneration cycle? It would appear that the engine should not be switched of while this process is taking place but I have never seen any warnings on the dash board...
