Some actions are known to produce '''noise''', waking [[sleep]]ing monsters in a certain radius. Not all of them are actually auditory in nature, but for the sake of simplicity all are listed here. Most sources of noise do not rouse victims of temporary magical sleep (which is more akin to [[paralysis]] in nature). In general, you should avoid noise when dealing with crowds of naturally-sleeping monsters, such as in [[special room]]s. The following events produce noise:

|[[Giant]] shouts when chatted to{{refsrc|src/sounds.c|763|nethack=3.6.1}} || 7 around the monster
|}

Walking near a monster without [[stealth]] can also wake it up{{reffunc|monmove.c|disturb}}. The monster must be in line of sight and within 10 squares; without [[aggravate monster]] there's only a 14% chance per monster move of it waking up. While this is presumably caused by you "making noise", it differs from above events in that the effect is continuous and is applied to each monster separately.
