make noises 制造噪音
noise的形容词，意为“吵闹的”。
②Every night we hear strange noises outside our window.
辨析： noise, sound 与voice
noise 多指不悦耳的吵闹声、嘈杂声，可以与动词make连用，意为“发出噪音”。
sound 泛指各种声音，不带有任何感彩。
voice 多指人说话、唱歌的声音，即人的嗓音，不可与make连用。
一语辨异：
There was a loud noise outside the classroom. The physics teacher had to raise his voice, “Light travels much faster than sound.”教室外面一片嘈杂声。物理老师只好提高了嗓音说：“光的传播速度比声音（的传播速度）要快得多。”
