Sound is a physical sensation that occurs when waves of pressure traveling through the air or other medium reach the ear and are interpreted by the brain. It can be pleasant, like music or birdsong, or it can be unpleasant, like a screeching car brake or a loud explosion.
Noise, on the other hand, is a type of unwanted or disruptive sound that interferes with communication, sleep, concentration, and other important activities. It can be caused by a variety of sources, including traffic, construction, industrial activity, and social events. Noise can be harmful to our health and well-being, causing stress, fatigue, hearing loss, and other negative effects.
