noise
Din or static
Noise is unwanted sound—loud, discordant, or interfering with what you're trying to hear: The construction noise made it impossible to concentrate.
The meaning extends to any unwanted signal that obscures information: static noise, background noise in data.
To noise something about is to spread it as rumor or gossip.
To make noise about something is to complain or draw attention to it.
In casual speech, noise can mean meaningless talk: His promises were just noise.
