"all of the sounds we humans generate. Some of these are controlled, like music, language or theatre. But most of what humans produce is chaotic or incoherent - sometimes referred to as noise." [1]

"Sounds of human origin, including human speech [2]. Technophony is a subcomponent of anthropophony referring to machine generated sounds, excluding human speech and music [3]." (from the Acoustic Index User's Guide)
