噪音

• Pinyin: zào yīn
• Desglose de hanzi: 噪 = 口 + 喿 (clamour/noisy birds); 音 = 言 + 一 (sound — speech with a resonant tone)

Significado

Ruido; sonido molesto o no deseado.

The colloquial counterpart to the more technical 噪声. 噪音扰民 (noise disturbing residents), 隔壁的噪音 (noise from next door), 减少噪音 (to reduce noise). Very common in everyday complaints, residential disputes, and casual speech.
