sounds made by government officials when interviewing a member of the public, intended to convey empathy but promising nothing.
As she listened to the refugee's heart-wrenching story, the immigration officer made non-specific encouraging noises.

A phrase over-used by immature little kids and teens who think they are black, but usually arn't. Usually accompanied by snobbishness, bitchiness, and also often whores.

This is a racial slur, because it associates individual personalities and traits with a skin color.
It is both positive and negative:
(1) Adaptive: flexible, able to switch to a different strategy in a new environment.
(2) Gaussian: (named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, a mathematician) vaguely implies above-average mathematical abilities or intelligence.
(3) Noise: (pejorative) nuisance, something to be ignored. A neutral synonym would be "dissenting opinion". However, in some social settings, being a dissenting voice imparts a sense of snobbishness.
Not to be confused with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), which is a mathematical concept deeply rooted in digital signal processing and probability theory. The correct interpretation of the four words of AWGN are:
(1) Additive (not to be misspelled addictive) means addition (the sum of two numbers).
(2) White means (i) consisting of all frequencies (ii) uncorrelated. This meaning stems from the physical phenomemon that a white light is formed from a mixture of monochromatic lights of various frequencies.
(3) Gaussian refers to the Gaussian Distribution, also known as a Normal Distribution, a concept in probability.

As used in bumper stickers, tshirt. Misuse of "Adaptive White Gaussian Noise" may result in disciplinary actions from school.

A swift, concise, piercing and high pitch "ahh", usually lasting only milliseconds, but the USN can be strung out to last a few seconds.
Sneaking into a flat mates room when he/she hasn't realised, getting as close to them as possible, and delivering a Universal Scare Noise (USN) to give them a fright.

Get the Brooklyn noise for the croocklyn boys mug.
mommy and daddys room keeps making weird squaky noises and my mum keeps screaming "harder daddy". I think she is tackling a monster WWE style.
