They include: Dynamic range, often defined by inherent noise level; Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), ratio of noise power to signal power
Noise is a term often used to refer to an unwanted sound. In science and engineering, noise is an undesirable component that obscures a wanted signal. However, in sound perception it can often be used to identify the source of a sound and is an important component of timbre perception (see below).
