	Noise
		Although internal noise was the major preoccupation of aircraft acoustic engineers for many years and still is important, the noise produced by the aircraft engine and experienced on the ground has become a dominant factor in the acceptability of the airplane.
		External noise is affected by the location of the source and observer, the engine thrust, and a number of factors that influence the overall configuration design.
		Noise maps typically depict the DNL 65dB contour as this is identified by federal guidelines as the threshold level of aviation and community noise that is "significant".

	Noise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Environmental noise is governed by noise regulations which set maximum recommended levels of sound levels for specific land uses, such as residential areas, schools, areas of outstanding natural beauty, or factories.
		Noise is often generated deliberately and used as a test signal.
		In video and television, noise refers to the random dot pattern that is superimposed on the picture as a result of electronic noise, the 'snow' that is seen with poor (analog) television reception or on VHS tapes.

	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).
		Noise music is loosely related to industrial, sharing its DIY ethos, independence and ethic of using "non-musical" sources.
		Power noise is comparatively conventionally musical, and is not to be confused with power electronics, the synthesizer based subgenre of abstract and experimental noise performed by Whitehouse.

	NOISE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Noise is not merely auditory as in the static on radio but may also be visual as in a blurred picture.
		The analogy between noise and thermodynamic entropy is suggested by the fact that in any communication process, noise can only increase and it does so at the expense of the amount of information transmitted from a sender to one or more receivers.
		Noise is the logical complement of equivocation and undesirable from the receiver's perspective.

	Students — Noise
		Tolerance to noise is influenced by the degree of acclimatisation (how we get used to it), the level and type of intruding noise and the level of the background noise at the time.
		An "unreasonable noise" exists when the prescribed item can be heard in a habitable room of a neighbouring house during a prohibited time regardless of whether or not the windows or doors are open.
		Noise can be unreasonable at any time if it is too loud or goes on for an unreasonable length of time.

	Noise: Digital Imaging: Glossary: Learn: Digital Photography Review
		Noise in digital images is most visible in uniform surfaces (such as blue skies and shadows) as monochromatic grain, similar to film grain (luminance noise) and/or as colored waves (color noise).
		Noise also increases as pixel size decreases, which is why digital compact cameras generate much noisier images than digital SLRs.
		Noise is typically more visible in the red and blue channels than in the green channel.

	Noise
		The noise is generated primarily by the single small fan in the system unit used to cool the electronics or by the spinning hard disk drive.
		Workstation noise levels are not high enough to cause hearing damage, and only seldom does the noise from a workstation cause problems with communication or impair performance.
		Noise control engineers are striving to lower noise levels of workstations, while at the same time studying and identifying the psychoacoustical aspects of particular noises that most contribute to annoyance.

	FAQ: Is Noise a Problem for Wind Turbines? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Noise was an issue with some early wind turbine designs, but it has been largely eliminated as a problem through improved engineering and through appropriate use of setbacks from nearby residences.
		Aerodynamic noise has been reduced by adjusting the thickness of the blades' trailing edges and by orienting blades upwind of the turbine tower.

	Aviation and the Environment
		Noise abatement procedures enable reduction of noise during aircraft operations to be achieved at comparatively low cost.
		Noise concerns have led some States, mostly developed countries, to consider banning the operation of certain noisy aircraft at noise-sensitive airports.
		For example, restrictions should be based on the noise performance of the aircraft and should be tailored to the noise problem of the airport concerned, and the special circumstances of operators from developing countries should be taken into account (Appendix E of Assembly Resolution A33-7).

	Noise, Lewes District Council
		If you experience a noise problem, the first step to take is to approach the person creating the noise and gently discuss the issue with him to try to resolve issue.
		The majority of noise problems can be resolved amicably by talking to the responsible person, as they may be unaware their activities are causing a disturbance, avoiding the need for Environmental Health involvement.
		Noise levels should be minimised where possible and machinery fitted with silencing devices where practicable.

		One example of electrical noise that is added to your home current can be caused by a nearby electric motor that may create an additional regular signal, which can add to your normal AC signal.
		Typically the noise is not regular, thus you take its average to determine the effect on the listener.

	On Noise, by Arthur Schopenhauer
		The most inexcusable and disgraceful of all noises is the cracking of whips -- a truly infernal thing when it is done in the narrow resounding streets of a town.
		Every time this noise is made, it must disturb a hundred people who are applying their minds to business of some sort, no matter how trivial it may be; while on the thinker its effect is woeful and disastrous, cutting his thoughts asunder, much as the executioner's axe severs the head from the body.
		The general toleration of unnecessary noise -- the slamming of doors, for instance, a very unmannerly and ill-bred thing -- is direct evidence that the prevailing habit of mind is dullness and lack of thought.
