We report on the noise properties of ion-irradiated YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ Josephson junctions. This work aims at investigating the linewidth of the Josephson oscillation with a detector response experiment at $\simeq$132 GHz. Experimental results are compared with a simple analytical model based on the Likharev-Semenov equation and the de Gennes dirty limit approximation. We show that the main source of low-frequency fluctuations in these junctions is the broadband Johnson noise and that the excess ($\frac{1}{f}$) noise contribution does not prevail in the temperature range of interest, as reported in some other types of high-T$_c$ superconducting Josephson junctions. Finally, we discuss the interest of ion-irradiated junctions to implement frequency-tunable oscillators consisting of synchronized arrays of Josephson junctions.
