In this paper, we study the spatial noise fluctuations of the density distribution of non-interacting 6Li ultracold Fermi gases. For ideal ultracold Fermi gases, the Fermi-Dirac statistics governs its quantum distribution. The suppression of density fluctuations at low temperature, due to Pauli exclusion principle, is observed in a large cloud of fermions. To clearly reveal the density noise fluctuations of the ideal Fermi gases, other noises, such as the background noise, imaging laser noise, CCD photon counting noise, are greatly suppressed. The noise fluctuation shows a sub-Poissonian statistics in excess of 10,000 atoms per spin state. The dependence of the spatial atom noise fluctuation on the quantum degeneracy is also investigated by changing the temperature of the degenerated Fermi gases. The Fermi gases with lower temperature exhibit larger suppression of the noise fluctuations. The results may have great applications in measuring the temperature of strongly correlated many-body physics and observing the phase transition of incompressible quantum phases.
