1. sound

   Sound is the sensation produced through the organs of hearing or the physical cause of this sensation. Sound is the most comprehensive word of this group, applying to anything that is audible. Tone is sound considered as having some musical quality or as expressive of some feeling; noise is sound considered without reference to musical quality or as distinctly unmusical or discordant. Thus, in the most general sense noise and sound scarcely differ, and we say almost indifferently, «I heard a sound,» or «I heard a noise.» We speak of a fine, musical, or pleasing sound, but never thus of a noise. In music, tone may denote either a musical sound or the interval between two such sounds, but in the most careful usage the latter is now distinguished as the «interval,» leaving tone to stand only for the sound. Note in music strictly denotes the character representing a sound, but in loose popular usage it denotes the sound also, and becomes practically equivalent to tone. Aside from its musical use, tone is chiefly applied to that quality of the human voice by which feeling is expressed; as, he spoke in a cheery tone; the word is similarly applied to the voices of birds and other animals, and sometimes to inanimate objects. As used of a musical instrument, tone denotes the general quality of its sounds collectively considered.

   Synonyms:
   noise, note, tone

1. Charles El Mir:

   It may sound like science fiction but a great deal of research considers asteroid collisions, for example, if there’s an asteroid coming at earth, are we better off breaking it into small pieces, or nudging it to go a different direction ? And if the latter, how much force should we hit it with to move it away without causing it to break ?

   Republicans can’t go too light. They have to actually ask some really tough questions. At the same time, she is super likable, i don’t know many people who will see her speak say, ‘Oh, this is someone who very clearly is very far to the left.’ There’s going to be some jockeying back and forth, obviously from the soundbite, but Republicans are going to have to be really careful with this. It’s not like we can assume that Joe Biden was going to get a pick to put someone on the court. And we understand it’s going to be someone pretty far to the left, and she’s going be prepared to make it sound like she’s not too far to the left.
