[Middle English, from Old French, perhaps from Vulgar Latin *nausea, discomfort, from Latin nausea, seasickness; see nausea.]

Synonyms: noise, din, racket², uproar, pandemonium, hullabaloo, hubbub, clamor
These nouns refer to loud, confused, or disagreeable sounds. Noise is the least specific: deafened by the noise in the subway. A din is a jumble of loud, usually discordant sounds: the din of the factory. Racket is loud, distressing noise: the racket made by trucks rolling along cobblestone streets. Uproar, pandemonium, and hullabaloo imply disorderly tumult together with loud, bewildering sound: "The evening uproar of the howling monkeys burst out" (W.H. Hudson); "a pandemonium of dancing and whooping, drumming and feasting" (Francis Parkman); a tremendous hullabaloo in the agitated crowd. Hubbub emphasizes turbulent activity and concomitant din: the hubbub of bettors, speculators, and tipsters. Clamor is loud, sustained noise, as of a public outcry of dissatisfaction: "not in the clamor of the crowded street" (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow); a debate that was interrupted by a clamor of opposition.

– noise

1. used as countable nouns

A sound is something that you can hear. A noise is an unpleasant or unexpected sound. You say that machinery makes a noise. People and animals can also make noises.

Be Careful!
When you use sound with this meaning, don't say 'the sound'.

Is that the wind making all that noise?

Try not to make so much noise.
