A "Noise Unit" is a term used in various contexts, often referring to a measurement of sound intensity or a specific type of sound. In the realm of music and sound design, it can denote a unit of measurement for noise levels, helping to quantify how loud or disruptive a sound is. This can be important in fields like acoustics, where understanding sound levels is crucial for creating comfortable environments. In the context of electronic music, Noise Unit is also the name of a Canadian industrial music project formed in the late 1980s. The project is known for its experimental sound, blending elements of electronic music with industrial and noise influences. The group's work often explores themes of technology and society, contributing to the broader genre of industrial music.
