signal to noise ratio

the ratio of signal to noise in decibels (dB).

A postitive signal to noise ratio means the signal is louder than the noise. A negative signal to noise ratio means the noise is louder than the signal. Typically, the signal is speech, music, or whatever sound is being listened for.

Noise Violation

What happens when you're throwing a bomb ass party and someone calls the cops because the music bothers them. Cops like to get these so they can bust underage parties.
Assholes.

That party was awesome, until the cops showed up for a noise violation and busted everyone.

noise bully

A person(s) who disturbs another person(s) quiet enjoyment of peace either purposely or doesn't care or amazingly doesn't know with their self-absorbed, child-like, disrespectful, and rude Loudness. Several examples include: talking on a cell phone, talking period, headphones/ear buds, "music" (especially distorted bass, angry rock, obscene rap), partying, arguing, yelling at kids to be quiet, TV, radio, video games, revving motorcycles, screeching tires, slamming doors, pounding repeatedly on a door, honking horns, musical instruments, loud sex, and perhaps the worst--barking dogs.

Here we go again, the noise bully in the apartment is partying and playing his "music" so loud it is disturbing everyone's quiet enjoyment of peace.

porn noise

The noise generated by the intensity of penis thrusting into the bottomless pit called the vagina.

After seeing the opera, I realized the porn noise coming from her vagina sounded like the lady I just heard on stage. It was a unique noise that no one wanted to hear but they would pay to see it anyday.
