Often misunderstood and confused with physical hunger, food noise is obsessive, incessant thoughts about food that won’t STFU. Like a phone that keeps ringing, food noise is so distracting it’s all you can think about–and it can make you more likely to overeat. It may seem like the term came out of nowhere, but leading obesity specialist Dr. Spencer Nadolsky has talked about his patient’s food noise for years.
“Wait, there’s a word for food noise? I thought I was just me.”
“Can someone tell me how to turn off this food noise? It’s constant and it’s driving me crazy.”
“People who don’t have food noise will never get it–the thoughts just won’t stop.”

Wayne was happy his favorite sports team won, he didn't know or care that the single mother next door was up past her shift tending to her son with colic so he was surprised to find a dirty diaper through his sunroof; the frustrated mother had succeeded in exacting a Noise Tax.

When you mispronounce "Nilla Wafers" as "Nilda Wafers" and chew them really loudly in someone's ear without keeping your mouth closed while you chew.
My mom has an issue where she struggles to pronounce classic cookie names and is now just creating Nilda Noise so I have to leave the room to do my work.

The difficulty you experience falling asleep, when you've become accustomed to playing a podcast or YouTube or tv shows before bed. And then you're traveling and have to sleep somewhere without internet reception. So your bedroom is way too quiet, and there's no external jabbering to interrupt your own existentially tormented thoughts.
"Hey, Edna. Glad to see you're back. How was the camping trip?"
"It was great, but I really didn't get very good sleep while I was out there"
"Oh really? I figured without all the hub-bub from the city, you'd sleep a lot better"
"That's what I thought! But I just felt isolated instead"
"Sounds like you've got a case of the White-Noise Blues"
