Grinch – Noise Noise Noise Noise Noise! – YouTube

As the old Grinch said, “All those Who Girls and Boys will wake bright and early…..they will rush for their toys….all the Noise, Noise, Noise……..there is one thing I hate…..all the Noise Noise Noise!!!”

Noise is unwanted sound judged to be unpleasant, loud or disruptive to hearing. From a physics standpoint, noise is indistinguishable from sound, as both are vibrations through a medium, such as air or water. The difference arises when the brain receives and perceives a sound.

Very loud and unharmonious in sound. boisterous. cacophonous. clamorous. rambunctious. riotous. rowdy. strident. vociferous.

What’s the difference between a sweet sound and a clamorous sound? It could be within us- how we decide the difference. Most people love to hear the sounds of children waking early- rushing downstairs to see their toys and making all kinds of delightful noise.  On the other hand, there are always the “Grinches” who want to stop Christmas from coming- but they are outnumbered and grow a heart- for the most part!
