Previous notice of a motion is given before the meeting at which the motion is introduced, RONR (10th ed.), p. 116, ll. 6-15.

Is there any such thing as a [noticed] motion, one which is made and but not discussed until a [future] meeting?

Yes and no. There is something called previous Notice of a motion, which is a statement of intent to move the motion at the future meeting. The motion isn't actually moved at the first meeting, only the intent to move it is announced. Then at the next meeting, the motion is actually made.

Some motions require prior notice, some motions don't require it but have a lower vote threshold if notice has been given, and most motions don't require it at all, but sometimes people will give notice in order to get people whose interests would be affected to come to the meeting.

Notice can be given by simply making a statement at a meeting after getting the floor, or it can be sent in writing as part of the Call of the (next) meeting, i.e., the announcement that is normally sent out by the Secretary stating the time and place of the meeting. This would be done by sending the statement to the Secretary far enough in advance to allow it to be included.
