Lord is the title used to address a Baron, Viscount, Earl, Margrave or Duke. So a Duke might be called Lord Richard, and a Baron might be called Lord Henry. Lord is also the generic term used to refer to all peers: Barons, Viscounts, Earls (or Counts), Margraves (or Marquises) and Dukes.
So a Baron is a type of Lord. All Barons are Lords, but not all Lords are Barons.
A noble was a member of the noble class. It included dukes, counts or earls, barons, and knights, along with their families. In some places it included anyone who owned a sufficiently large piece of land.
The nobility was divided between those whose titles were hereditary, including dukes, counts, and barons, and those whose titles were not hereditary, with included mostly knights, though there were a few hereditary knights. There was the hereditary title of baronet, which was below baron, but did not appear until the Late Middle Ages.
