Unlike Noise, noise rock usually retains the song structures and coherence of conventional rock music; noise rock came to its own in the 1980s; pioneering bands include Sonic Youth, The Birthday Party, The Butthole Surfers, Flipper and Swans)
found: rateyourmusic.com website, Dec. 9, 2019:Genres > Experimental > Noise (Noise is an Experimental genre that strays away from conventional music structure, tonality, and composition and - as the name implies - consists predominantly of noise. Such music can be created or generated with virtually anything, including acoustic and traditional instruments, non-musical objects and machinery, extreme vocal techniques, and electronic equipment. Noise is often cacophonous, improvised in its composition, dissonant, loud, and abrasive. These noisy techniques are commonly created with feedback, distortion, manipulation, computer generation, etc. ... While avant-garde classical compositions and Electronic experiments of the early 1960s were steadily utilising noise more frequently, popular music was also starting to catch on to the style. In 1966, The Velvet Underground's John Cale recorded Loop, another track which honed in on audio feedback and Drone sounds. ... Since its inception, noise has evolved into and influenced a wide spectrum of genres and styles, across all levels of intensity. While some took it to their harsh extremities, such as the Harsh Noise Wall style of often-unchanging walls of static noise, other styles like Noise Rock and Noise Pop used noise in a more accessible way, retaining traditional rock song tropes.)
found: AllMusic website, Dec. 9, 2019Pop/Rock subgenres and styles > Art-Rock / Experimental > Noise-Rock (Noise-Rock is an outgrowth of punk rock, specifically the sort of punk that expressed youthful angst and exuberance through the glorious racket of amateurishly played electric guitars. Noise-rock, like its forerunner no wave, aims to be more abrasive, sometimes for comic effect and sometimes to make a statement, but always concentrating on the sheer power of the sound. While most noise-rock bands concentrate on the ear-shattering sounds that can be produced by distorted electric guitars, some also use electronic instrumentation, whether as percussion or to add to the overall cacophony. Some groups are more concerned than others about integrating their sonic explorations into song structures; pioneers Sonic Youth helped bring noise-rock to a wider alternative-rock audience when they began to incorporate melody into their droning sheets of sound.)

From the ear-splitting, teeth-rattling attack of Japan's Merzbow to the thick, grinding intensity of Amphetamine Reptile-label bands like Tar and Vertigo, it's dark, brutal music that pushes rock to its furthest extremes. By the end of the '90s, a resurgence in the use of sine waves -- originally explored by musique concrète artists in the '50s -- became increasingly frequent among noise artists such as Otomo Yoshihide)
found: Wikipedia, Dec. 9, 2019(Noise rock (sometimes called noise punk) is a noise-oriented style of experimental rock that spun off from punk rock in the 1980s. Drawing on movements such as minimalism, industrial music, and New York hardcore, artists indulge in extreme levels of distortion through the use of electric guitars and, less frequently, electronic instrumentation, either to provide percussive sounds or to contribute to the overall arrangement; oise rock fuses rock to noise, usually with recognizable "rock" instrumentation, but with greater use of distortion and electronic effects, varying degrees of atonality, improvisation, and white noise. One notable band of this genre is Sonic Youth)
