Question

cacophony n.刺耳的声音；杂音 (1) 后面的司机还在按喇叭，且那刺耳的声音越来越大。(2) 本来众声嘈杂的屋子里，突然变得非常肃静。 A cacophony is a jarring, discordant mix of sounds that have no business being played together. When the orchestra tunes up before a show, it sounds like a cacophony because each musician is playing a completely different tune, at different times, and at different volumes. Once the show begins, that cacophony had better turn into a melody, or audiences will demand a refund. This allegedly occurred during the first time Igor Stravinsky's score for the ballet "The Rite of Spring" was performed because its difficult composition and discordant tone was shocking.
