Sound vs NoiseIt is not that hard to discern noise from sound. It is actually just as simple as comparing a rotten tomato from an ordinary set of good-quality tomatoes. Noise is like a rotten tomato while sound is like a set of healthy tomatoes.
Sound is a result of the vibrating air in the surroundings. Vibration passes through the air. It creates different levels of air pressure (higher and lower) through air compression and decompression. These variations travel across the air in the form of sound waves which are responsible for the creation of sound. Although these can’t be seen, sounds are perceived by the sense of hearing. One of the most pleasant forms of sound is that which is generated by non-hardcore musical instruments.
Noise, on the contrary, is a kind of sound – a remarkably loud one, that is. In this regard, shouts are the perfect examples of noise. It is characterized by its unpleasantness and annoying nature that can even lead to some physical ill effects. Aside from hearing loss, noise can also induce severe cardiovascular symptoms of increased heart rate and can bring about psychological effects that manifest as anxiety, lack of concentration, and profound nervousness. It may also be coincidental that the term “noise†is actually taken from a Latin word that literally means “nausea.â€
Moreover, noise is therefore deafening all the time compared to sound which can easily be handled or listened to by everyone. This is the reason why noise is a type of sound that is less or least desired. When there’s constant, loud chattering inside the classroom, or when there’s a powerful rock concert held in your neighborhood, one might easily get freaked out because of the terrible noises these situations create.
