Is the smoke inside the car or from the outside?
Outside:
Could be oil from engine or transmission splashed onto the exhaust system
Inside:
Could be coolant or heater core problem that spilled inside somehow
Or Could be anything in the engine compartment.
You will have to open the hood and see what is going on there.

Well, this doesn't explain the noises - but there's been a couple times when I've been freaked out by smoke coming from my car - then I'll find the Wal-Mart bag that's melted itself to my exhaust somewhere...
