: Tiendo a estar de acuerdo, pero el inglés es más informal, es "darle vueltas al coco", o sea de una forma no muy seria... (De acuerdo en que es un sinónimo de pensar...)

le das vueltas y vueltas a la cabeza - especulas / te devanas los sesos

La definición que me parece que funciona aquí, en la línea de Andy, "brainstorm",
es la que nos da el Merriam Webster:
: to think about something in a way that is not very serious
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/noodle
Por eso, en el contexto que aportas sería un sinónimo de "pensar", o "darle vueltas a la cabeza", en plan coloquial creo que puede funcionar muy bien.
En este enlace también te da otro ejemplo:

: to think about something in a way that is not very serious
It's a thought I've been noodling around with for some time.

La opción de "le das vueltas al coco", al menos para España (le dais vueltas al coco, si se trata de un grupo), funcionaría bien en el contexto.
Saludos cordiales.
