Born in Ottawa, Ontario, Noble is the third and youngest daughter of Sherry Noble (born in Kingston, Ontario) and David Noble (born in Muscatine, Iowa). She moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1990.

Sierra attended École Laura Secord School from pre-school to the grade 4 when she transferred to Wolseley School for grades 5 and 6. She attended and graduated from Gordon Bell High School with the exception of grades 10 and 11 when she attended The University of Winnipeg Collegiate on a full scholarship from the University of Winnipeg president, Lloyd Axworthy.

Sierra Noble began by busking at The Forks in Winnipeg. At the age of 12, Sierra became the youth ambassador for the Manitoba Campaign to Ban Landmines. In this capacity she began making presentations about the global landmine issue in various schools, universities, and colleges. In 2004 she was selected to be one of two representatives of Canada at the Ban Landmines International Children's Conference.

In 2005, she released an instrumental album of traditional Old Time fiddle music entitled "Spirit of The Strings", produced by Randy Hiebert (guitar player of The Bellamy Brothers), distributed by Arbor Records/EMI Canada.

In December 2008, Sierra released her debut vocal release entitled "Possibilities" on MapleMusic Recordings, produced by Toronto-based record producer, Bill Bell.
