I was talking to my friend about something I find disgusting and she replied, "Noted."
I replied, "Noted what?" and she said, "All that."
I am a little confused about what she was trying to say? Is there more here than meets the eye? Does "noted" as a response convey a meaning beyond the simple word itself?

Actually this is not a bad question.
When you make a statement and the reply comes back "Noted," you can assume that you have been over-sharing, discussing topics the other person finds objectionable or uncomfortable, or violating some other social taboo.
It is a one-word way of saying, "I don't wish to discuss this and I wish you would stop talking about it."
Additional tidbit: The New Yorker magazine uses this in their end-of-article squibs in precisely this manner. They find some odd or borderline-offensive bit of published text and put after it the one-word comment: "Noted."
