Why is 雑音 followed by を and not が?

Because 雑音を減らす uses 減らす (to reduce) as a transitive verb. を marks 雑音 as the direct object you’re reducing.

Why is 会話 marked with が instead of を when we’re talking about hearing it?

Here we have the adjective 聞きやすい (“easy to hear”), so 会話 functions as the subject of that adjective and takes が. If you used the verb 聞く (“to listen”), then you’d mark the object with を.

How is 聞きやすい formed and what does it mean?

It’s formed by attaching the auxiliary adjective やすい (“easy to do”) to the verb stem 聞き from 聞く. Thus 聞きやすい means “easy to hear” or “easy to listen to.”
