Sine

The sine wave is the simplest possible sound in existence. All other sounds can be reproduced as a collection of sine waves.

Noise

White noise is the exact opposite of a sine wave: sine is perfectly regular, noise is perfectly random.

Recordings

Pure sine waves and perfectly random noise don't exist in nature. Every sound we hear falls somewhere in between these two extremes.
