We show (both numerically and analytically) that the electromechanical noise power P does not vanish on the plateaus of quantized conductance -- in contrast to the current noise. The dependence of $P$ on the constriction width can be oscillatory or stepwise, depending on the geometry. The stepwise increase amounts to an approximate quantization of momentum noise.4 pages including 4 figuresMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsMomentum noise in a quantum point contacttext
