"The Noise" is a term often used to describe a disruptive or overwhelming sound that can interfere with communication and concentration. It can refer to various types of sounds, including background chatter, machinery, or environmental disturbances. In many contexts, excessive noise can lead to stress and decreased productivity. In literature and media, "The Noise" may also refer to specific works or themes that explore the impact of sound on human experience. For example, in the Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness, "The Noise" represents the thoughts of male characters, creating a unique narrative device that highlights inner conflict and societal issues.
