If it were music the descriptor "noise" could be avoided. Having said that, it is expression and a window into the psyche of people that are attracted to noise as opposed to say, new age. I am just guessing here but I would say that "noise people" (I just coined new phrase!- maybe) desire being numbed by noise. There is probably some kind of numbing natural chemistry that floods the brainpan that noise people look to achieve. No different than other kinds of sounds like listening to the seashore or crickets at night. But my guess is that noise numbs the mind while crickets smooths the mind. All very interesting. And of course I could be wrong. Well, noise is noise and not music. If it were music the descriptor “noise” could be avoided.
