Noise Tax

An informal but harsh penalty dealt out by neighbors of people who feel the need to show off the loud exhausts on their motorcycles and sports cars, their illegal fireworks or 12 million watt subwoofers. Also people who are mystified by their car alarms, can't properly care for pets and children, and talk outside windows late at night like they're at some club can expect an invoice

The tax itself is on a sliding scale based on the offender, the offense, and how often it happens: ranges from being anonymously being reported to local Code Enforcement or a Karen-post on Nextdoor and can escalate beyond minor frozen urine puddles to facing an arson charge for the recipient
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.

cryptographic noise

When you try to decrypt something using AES_256 or similar, using the wrong decryption key, the result is cryptographic noise. Cryptographic noise is data that might as well have been randomly generated, as it is not even close to the original, no matter how similar the decryption key you put in is to the correct decryption key. This is as a result of the strong diffusion and confusion principles employed by modern encryption standards like AES-256. Even if youre only slightly off from the correct decryption key, say you forgot to capitalise a letter, you will never get a "partially correct" or "degraded" version of the original data. It will generate what one might describe as "corrupted, meaningless garbage, taking up space on your computer."
I did try to decrypt the backup file, but I must have used the wrong key because all I got was cryptographic noise!

Noise

A term used to describe or judge another who is saying unintelligent or brainless dialog. Usually, telling them what they are saying is pointless or annoying to others. It could be classified as a racial slur if used in a way that is negative towards other languages that the speaker does not understand.
