Any criteria to determine which data belongs to noise? Such as data outside certain range in x and y-direction?

There are many ways to approach this, for example using smoothdata or rmoutliers. Both functions have options to control how the data are smoothed or have outliers removed. Here's an example using rmoutliers:
M = readmatrix('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/915134/data.xlsx');
tiledlayout('flow')
nexttile;
x = M(:,1);
y = M(:,2);
scatter(x,y, 'filled');
set(gca, 'XLim', [-60 60], 'ylim', [-200 200]);
nexttile;
M = rmoutliers(M, 'percentiles', [0.5 99.5]);
x = M(:,1);
y = M(:,2);
scatter(x,y, 'filled');
set(gca, 'XLim', [-60 60], 'ylim', [-200 200]);

One way might be to use dbscan. This clustering method finds all groups that can be connected by path segments of a certain length. If a data point is farther away from any point in an existing cluster than the specified distance, then it's considered to be part of a separate cluster. So the clusters can be any shape, the only requirement is that all the points in the cluster are no farther away from another point in a cluster than the distance you specify. So it's very good at identifying irregularly shaped clusters.
I'm attaching a demo of dbscan. What you want to do is to use dbcan() to identify clusters and then delete all data points that are not part of the cluster with the most data points in it. If you can't figure out how to apply it, let me know.
