I don't think the actual force you need to apply in NOA is different than regular autopilot, but it does appear this way at first; I believe as a result of the nag showing if it hasn't detected force in the last couple of seconds, rather than the last 20-30 seconds.
I would think that if you loosely hold the wheel on a regular drive, it probably takes 5-10 sec for some torque to be detected. Since regular autopilot won't nag you for not detecting torque for 20 sec or so, it is sufficient to avoid any nag during a long drive.
But since NOA looks back, in my opinion, no more than 5 sec ago for any torque event, it is much more likely to show a nag.
Understanding that completely changed my experience with NOA; at first, I would just not use the auto lane changes as I felt I needed to confirm every lane change with a nudge on the wheel. Now, I just loosely hold the wheel and completely ignore nag messages, they will still show at every other lane change, but disappear within a few seconds when normally detecting torque on the wheel; only then can you start enjoying the auto lane changes.
So in summary, if the way you hold the wheel for regular autopilot works fine without any nag, don't change any of it and just ignore the nagging during NOA, it should always clear itself out within a few seconds.
