Noggins for stud wall above?

[Crowbar hero]

I have a design with a stud wall running parallel and pretty much right in between a pair of floor joists - should I try to jam an extra parallel joist under the wall, or simply increase the quantity of noggins between the affected joists..?

Have a look at the design. It may be that althought the wall is not carrying vertical load it is carrying horizontal load from say the wind blowing on the outside walls?

 

Best thing you can do is to provide more info to get a more defined answer.

Anywhere that studs land between joists should have nothings between each joist and under the floor deck every 600 

You can do this from underneath by following the screws

the wall is internal, and not load-bearing. Its on the first floor of a conventional extension with block walls and truss roof.
