  Harsh noise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harsh noise is a specific type of noise music that uses no (or minimal) synths, no (or minimal) acoustic instruments, or is created almost entirely by electronic feedback and distortion, along with occasional crashing metal sounds and samples.
Sometimes referred to simply as "noise," the term harsh noise came into use to differentiate its style from more "musical" genres such as noise rock and noisecore, which use instrumentation and song structure.
Probably originally inspired by nineteen-eighties power electronics artists (such as Whitehouse and Maurizio Bianchi), its focus is more on texture and less about composition or feel.

 Noise music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Noise" music is regarded by some as a contradiction in terms, because "noise" is generally defined as unwanted and undesigned or unintentional sound and music as the opposite (see Definition of music).
Secondly, as famous noise musician Masami Akita said, "If by noise you mean uncomfortable sound, then pop music is noise to me." Noise music is not necessarily "noise" to the listeners, although it is certainly "noisy" in the more general sense of the term.
Noise music is loosely related to industrial music, sharing its DIY ethos, independence and ethic of using "non-musical" sources.

 BostonNoise FAQ
Noise is usually produced either by using non-musical instruments in a musical context, or by using musical instruments in a traditionally non-musical way.
Noise music actually has its roots in twentieth-century classical music, but these experiments were usually limited to the academic world.
Harsh Noise is probably the least accessible form of noise music here; instrumentation is almost impossible to determine, volumes tend to run into the red, and there's little discernable progression in the music at all.

The thing that really blows me away is, that unlike other noise projects which attempt to destroy your eardrums with an insurmountable wall of white static, The Feeder's pieces come across a lot more restrained and composed, giving them a much more musical feel than the majority of noise that I have heard.
Soul Drought opens the disc with demented bursts of noise that sounds like an air raid siren distorted beyond recognition, whilst other bursts of harsh noise erupt intermittently one after the other, with a low drone underneath that at times gets completely buried, giving a very disjointed and agitated feel to the track.
The bulk of the track is a strange pulsating harsh noise that erupts in places and completely disappears in others.

Chuck Palahniuk's meditation on silence and noise gave me an idea last night while listening to this disc—all those harsh noise providers out there must be afraid.
All the noise tends to blur together and take on the properties of a drone, it has reduced my frustration on several occasions and has also managed to put me to sleep when played at low levels.
But this harsh noise stuff is beginning to sound like a weird mirror of all the "drone" music I'm in love with.

 CoC : Rich Hoak / Family Harsh Noise Experimentation - Disassociative Cognition : Review
While Hoak's piece may be long and never-ending at times, the task of trying to get the listener to have an 'altered state of perception' succeeds.
From the start, Hoak's piece is truly odd and eccentric, moving at varied paces of combating noise elements and rehashed emotional tidbits.
While this may not be one of the better demos from one of Sannwald's side-projects (like the Thought Masticator and Intellectually Raped demos I have gotten), it is quite a collection of obscure noise pieces that stun the senses at regular intervals.
