Brad, I did not read this book but its annotation suggests that the author has got the phrase the other way around.
The canonic form ("don't hang your noodles on my ears!") is used to say "stop telling me lies/nonsence!", not to convince a listener in one's honesty. Also it may be used by a third person to warn a listener of apparent nonsence: "she is hanging noodles on your ears".
Regards,
Tony
