No substitution required

- The sentence is in the present progressive tense: "They are making a lot of noise."

- The correct question tag for a positive statement with "are" is "aren’t they?"

- Option 2: "are they" is incorrect because it doesn’t form a proper question tag for a positive statement.

- Option 3: aren’t they is the correct option as it matches the tense and structure of the sentence.

- Option 4: No substitution required is incorrect because the current tag "isn’t it" doesn’t match the subject and verb in the main clause.
