p.ix
"One cannot subject sound to a persistent observation; rather one can only listen and then, maybe, listen again. Music is apprehended in chunks of time. Partly because sound is dynamic, Western intellectual traditions show a markeds preference for vision as the figure of knowledge. We articulate more effectively the fixed image than the dynamic sound."

"...noise can be any difference between an input signal; or it can be a background level of sonic energy in a room or in a machine; or it can be any unwanted, annoying or unexpected sound; or it can be the constant vibration of the air at a given point in space; or it can refer to any sound whatsoever."
