I recently imported a batch of images that I shot in a dark club and the original import images that I looked at last night did not have this massive amount of noise in the blue areas. The noise just showed up today and I'm scratching my head as to why.
I have deleted the imported images and re-imported twice.
I have checked the original RAW files and they seem fine.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom Classic on my Mac.
My guess is that there is a setting somewhere I have missed that is causing this?

To me that doesn’t look like noise or a bug. It looks like the standard blue Lightroom Classic/Camera Raw overlay indicator for shadow clipping (View > Show Clipping). See demo below. Your screen shot shows that the shadow clipping overlay is on and the highlight clipping overlay is off. The amount of shadow clipping in your image is as expected for that type of dark scene, depending on your personal preference of course.
If you didn’t want to see where the shadows clip, that Show Shadow Clipping icon might have been clicked unintentionally; just click it again to disable the shadow clipping overlay.
