Noise/Sound - சத்தம் (Sanskrit)
Original Tamil word - ஓசை/ஒலி
The Tamil word ஒலி means sound (It is appropriate to mention here that ஒளி means light and ஒழி means to destroy).
The word கூச்சல் is the word to denote noise from talking (argument). It comes from the word கூவு which means to call out/say loudly.
சத்தம் is clearly the widely used word today for this context by Tamil speakers. How nice it would be to hear us say, கூச்சல் போடாதே, instead of saying சத்தம் போடாதே!
