*salary cutting noises*

A comical term used when someone's paycheck gets cut (or otherwise gets paid less).

The term originates from a 2019 YouTube video featuring Miles Edgeworth dancing, referencing a reoccurring gag in the Ace Attorney series where he reduces the salary of the character Dick Gumshoe.

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.

second-generation noise

Refers to a giggly "imitation" racket dat a small child gleefully makes after hearing a grownup undertake a jarringly-loud activity, such as hammering, drilling, sawing, filing, etc.
Classic examples of "second-generation noise" would be if a youngster watches his parent or a visiting neighbor driving nails and then starts happily yodeling, "Bam-bam-bam-bam!" while pounding his fist on anything within reach around the house, or hollers, "ZzhEEEh-ukhkhahw, zzhEEEh-ukhkhahw, zzhEEEh-ukhkhahw, zzhEEEh-ukhkhahw..." (accompanied by vigorous back-and-forth motions with his forearm against various objects) after he witnesses someone raspingly slicing up boards or plywood with a crosscut saw.
