[close] The use and definition of the word "noise" is highly contested. The law defines noise as something very specific through the use of community ordinances. People use the word noise to define sounds of all types and sources. Noise tends to have a negative connotation but this interpretation, and not necessarily by definition. The word doesn't even simply apply to audio. People speak of visual noise to define a sense of overwhelming materials that create a space where focus is difficult as well as noise as the unwanted part of communication (meaning that its 'other' is signal). This group is a collection of books about ideas surrounding noise in it's many uses, definitions and interpretations.
