Signal Noise

Famous quotes containing the words signal and/or noise:

“By day thy warning ringing bell to sound its notes,
By night thy silent signal lamps to swing.”

“The square dance fiddler’s first concern is to carry a tune, but he must carry it loud enough to be heard over the noise of stamping feet, the cries of the “caller,” and the shouts of the dancers. When he fiddles, he “fiddles all over”; feet, hands, knees, head, and eyes are all busy.”
—State of Oklahoma, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
