Hi analog2000, You are mixing two different concepts, phase noise and jitter are effects related to innacuracies of frequency in oscillators(jitter for digital circuits, phase noise in analog oscillators usually). Output noise(in V/sqrt(Hz) or V^2/Hz) is the measurement of thermal,flicker,shot,popcorn noise whetever applies in your case. In other words the first relates more to synchronization(in jitter case for digital systems) or undesired mixing(for rf front-end for phase noise,caused by the fact that you didn't have a true dirac delta in an oscillator) and output noise relates to the sensitivity of the system(which also causes that engineers have work, if noise didn't exist i communications systems will be more easy to design). Hope it helps this explanation
