If it irritates the hell out of my ears, it noise.

Other than that I class it as music of varying form.

Graham Chapman, of Monty Python fame, once spoke about this back when I was in college (over 20 years ago now....):

Seems Chapman was a drunk, and used to hang out a fair bit with another one -- Keith Moon (of The Who fame, of course). As Chapman told the story, they were in Keith's hotel room one day, listing to a rehearsal tape of the band on Keith's new cassette player, at full volume.

The hotel manager came to the room and shouted "WILL YOU PLEASE TURN THAT NOISE OFF!!!" Without a word, Keith complied, shutting of the tape player, and the manager went away.

About an hour later, there was a load explosion -- one that took the door to Keith's hotel room clean off its hinges. The manager returned, this time demanding to know what the hell was going on.

Keith pointed at the now empty doorway. "THAT was noise, mate," he said. Picking up the cassette, he added, "THIS is The Who."

So there you have it. Difference between music and noise.

I think there is no universal static and eternal definition to the question.

One point is:

The more often I want to hear the same acoustic events the more I think it's (good) music.

The less often I want to hear the same acoustic events the less I think it's (good) music.

But unfortunately this changes for everyone anytime.

As acoustic events flow in time so does every ones perception of that being music or not just with a lower frequency...

Probably the question can't be discussed and finally concluded - like taste...

If you enjoy listening to it, what difference does it make?

One generation.

A generation is how long?

I wondered what Meffy considered a generation. I had to go look this up for myself because I'd read years ago that it was 33 years.

Different species; my generation-span isn't the same as yours. Matters not, if you need to know the length of a generation and Donkey Tugger isn't around to provide the information, simply measure how long it takes between when it's music and when it's noise. For greater accuracy take several measurements and average them together.

Or, I could just do a few shots of Tres Generaciones tequila and take a nap.
