"Noise" does not have to be actual noise. It may consist of sound that due to its acoustic properties is perceived as such.

In [pending] the PC takes advantage of the noisy environments to carry out some Stealth operations.

Examples

[Note: considering that this is still a candidate pattern, more examples then usually are presented, in order to provide a better support for the discussion.]

iGadget:
Limbo: Limbo present us an example of the use Noise as part of the Ambiance [pending:[REF]]. In this case, noise is constant and soft.
Silent Hill: In the Silent Hill series, the PC carries a Radio which emits a static noise when there are enemies in the surroundings, contributing to Awareness, which is a relevant element of Gameplay.
[show less examples...]
Flower: Noise as part of the starting point for the unfolding of the Emotional Script along the experience, as explored in the game's Menus. In the beginning of the game the Menu presents an Acoustic Ecology (predominantly Ambiance) allusive to a emotionally negative environment. As the game progresses, it becomes more positive and eventually it becomes highly rewarding.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory: The level of Noise as part of the Gameplay. Here, Noise is understood as the loudness of the Ambiance and of the PC's actions.The PC ought to make less Noise than its surroundings, so that he is not heard by the opponents.
