Noise: a stench in the ear.

noise is a pollution.
Sylvia Townsend Warner

NOISE, n. A stench in the ear. Undomesticated music. The chief product and authenticating sign of civilization.
Ambrose Bierce

Noise is relative to the silence preceeding it. The more absolute the hush, the more shocking the thunderclap. Our masters have not heard the peoples voice for generations, Evey and it is much, much louder than they care to remember.
Alan Moore

Joan Baez

We're a bit flashy, but the music's not one big noise.

As with narrow-necked bottles the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring out.

A loud noise will get your fight-or-flight response going. This, over the years, can cause real cardiovascular damage.
A. J. Jacobs
Image
The very air had screams smeared on it. He flinched from the noise in this silent room.
Thomas Harris
Image
As a very small child I found recorded noise and the solitary singer beneath the spotlight so dramatic and so brave... walking the plank... willingly... It was sink or swim. The very notion of standing there, alone, I found beautiful.
Steven Morrissey
Image
I like it where it gets dark at night, and if you want noise, you have to make it yourself.
H. Beam Piper
Image
For children is there any happiness which is not also noise?
Frederick William Faber
Image
The modern city consists of...dark, narrow streets full of gasoline fumes, coal dust, and toxic gasses, torn by the noise.
Alexis Carrel
Image
The stronger person is not the one making the most noise but the one who can quietly direct the conversation toward defining and solving problems.
