Everyone knows what noise is. Or do they? Can we in fact say that
one man's noise is another teenager's music? Is noise in fact only
an auditory phenomenon or does it extend far beyond this realm? If
our common definitions of noise are necessarily subjective and
noise is not just unpleasant sound, then it merits a closer look
(or listen). Greg Hainge sets out to define noise in this way, to
find within it a series of operations common across its multiple
manifestations that allow us to apprehend it as something other
than a highly subjective term that tells us very little. Examining
a wide range of texts, including Sartre's novel Nausea and David
Lynch's iconic films Eraserhead and Inland Empire, Hainge
investigates some of the Twentieth Century's most infamous
noisemongers to suggest that they're not that noisy after all; and
it finds true noise in some surprising places. The result is a
thrilling and illuminating study of sound and culture.
