noise Explanation: It's a vague term with a broad definition. The general tendency, in English as in French, is to specify the type of noise (distortion, feedback, prepared instruments, etc.) if at all possible, but the general term that covers all of this is simply "noise." The word doesn't necessarily have the negative connotation in a music context that it has in conversational language. (For a detailed discussion of its various connotations, see the intro to Marie Thompson's 2017 book Beyond Unwanted Sound: Noise, Affect and Aesthetic Moralism.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_in_music |
