Hi Maya,
I would say personally that number 2 sounds really natural.
For example:
Person 1: How was your day?
Person 2: It was fine thanks, just a normal working day, nothing special happened, but I managed to get a lot done.
We can use "nothing significant" when we talk about a certain situation or circumstance
For example: Person 1: Is there anything new to report on the business deal?
Person 2: No, nothing significant has happened, we are still waiting for Peter to agree to the terms of the contract.
If something is "noteworthy" it means it is worth mentioning/ worth attention/ significant .
For example: The book was very boring, I can't think of one noteworthy thing to say about it!
For example: He gave a noteworthy performance in that film, I would really recommend watching it.
Hope this helps :)
