Example Word
雑音: noise. The Japanese noun '雑音 (ざつおん)' refers to 'noise', particularly unwanted or disruptive sounds. This term is often used in contexts where background noise interferes with communication or clarity, such as in audio recordings, phone calls, or public spaces. For example: There is too much noise in this room「この部屋は雑音が多すぎる」(このへやはざつおんがおおすぎる). The noise from the construction site is annoying「工事現場の雑音がうるさい」(こうじげんばのざつおんがうるさい). It can also be used metaphorically to describe irrelevant or distracting information, such as in a discussion or written text.
