We use techniques for lower bounds on communication to derive necessary conditions in terms of detector efficiency or amount of superluminal communication for being able to reproduce with classical local hidden-variable theories the quantum correlations occurring in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) experiments in the presence of noise. We apply our method to an example involving n parties sharing a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type state on which they carry out local measurements. For this example, we show that for local hidden-variable theories to reproduce the quantum correlations, the amount of superluminal classical communication c and the detector efficiency {eta} are constrained by {eta}2{sup -c/n}{<=}O(n{sup -1/6}). This result holds even if the classical models are allowed to make an error with constant probability.
