Are you talking about the Dynamic Low Light mode? You can't turn that off. That is actually supposed to remove noise. The reason why the iPhone 5 images are so noisy is because the maximum ISO is now 3200 vs 800 on the 4S and higher ISO means more noise.
 
Yeah I know you cant turn it off I dont notice any noise when its a well lit photo only when its a low to medium light photo

When there is enough light (eg outdoors) the ISO sensitivity is usually at 50 or 64. As it gets darker, the ISO sensitivity goes up and images become more noisy. Darker areas are also prone to noise compared to bright areas in the image.

Now that we have a jailbreak any know of a tweak to change the ISO?
