Literary notes about noisy (AI summary)
Literary works often employ "noisy" to conjure vivid atmospheres and underscore social conditions. In some texts, the word brings to life crowded urban landscapes and public festivities—think of streets filled with clamor and discordant voices [1] or animated groups that punctuate a narrative with unrestrained energy [2]. At times, it delineates inner character states, marking moments when a person grows agitated or boisterous [3] and highlighting the contrast between serene settings and sudden bursts of sound, as when a generally calm environment is disrupted by a sudden auditory intrusion [4]. Moreover, "noisy" extends beyond literal sound to evoke the spirit and temperament of both individuals and communities, turning every mention into a doorway to a more vibrant, if sometimes chaotic, world [5].
