1. Sound of any kind.

The heavens turn about in a most rapid motion without noise to us

perceived.

Bacon.

Noise is either a sound of too short a duration to be determined, like

the report of a cannon; or else it is a confused mixture of many

discordant sounds, like the rolling of thunder or the noise of the

waves. Nevertheless, the difference between sound and noise is by no

means precise. Ganot.
