noise
Significado: Unwanted or unpleasant sound; any sound
Noise refers to sound, especially when it's loud, unpleasant, or unwanted. Unlike 'sound' (neutral), 'noise' often has negative connotations. 'Noisy' is the adjective form. 'Background noise' refers to ambient sounds. 'Make a noise about' means to complain publicly. In technical contexts, 'noise' means unwanted interference in signals.
