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!

Get the White noise mug.Sophia's making brat noises again because I told her to watch TV in her room and not on the living room TV.
Nicole didn't get the paid time off she requested so she's been making brat noises all day.

Get the White noise mug.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.
