Hello,

the difference is when you use sound, you talk for example about good music, but when you mean noise, is negative.

Example : You have ten children in your house and there are playing and crying at the same time, and the high level of their voices break your ears.

Another example more clear, I think:

You are listening Mozart, it is good sound but perhaps if it's Hard Rock it's just noise for you.

I hope it's more clear now, have a nice day. :o

If you just allow me to correct your question, you should say: What is the difference between 'noise' and 'sound'.......?

My humble answer is:

Sound: The particular auditory effect produced by a given cause [e.g. I don't like to hear the sound of the wind]

Noise: The attribute of a sound (e.g., loud, harsh, non-harmonious or confused) [e.g. Old doors make noise while they are opened]

So, the first is general and the second is specific

I know that I am taking the risk of answering the question before Jamie and Alan. :oops:

Sometimes I can't help it being naughty. :)

My regards
