'Noise' in the Bible

For the Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the sound of chariots, and the sound of horses, the sound of a great army. They had said to one another, “The king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come [and fight] against us.”

When Athaliah heard the sound of the guards and of the people, she went into the house of the Lord to the people.
