We suppose all rings are commutative with unity.

I am looking for examples of a tensor product $B\otimes_A C$ which is not noetherian, where $A$ is a noetherian ring and $B, C$ are noetherian $A$-algebras.

The more examples the better. In other words, I'm asking a big list of examples.

$\mathbb{C} \otimes_{\mathbb{Q}} \mathbb{C}$ is not noetherian. For more examples from field extensions, see math.SE/19426 and your own question math.SE/694440. For example, if $K/F$ is a field extension which is not finitely generated, then $K \otimes_F K$ is not noetherian. From this one also gets more examples by localization, for example $\mathbb{Z}_p \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{Z}_q$ is not noetherian, see math.SE/684146. Likewise, if $k$ is a field, then $k[[x]] \otimes_k k[[y]]$ is not noetherian.
