I can give you a simple answer:


"Trespass" by Genesis is music.

"Eaten Back to Life" by Cannibal Corpse is noise. God-awful noise.

Of course there is -- but it's largely subjective. Smile
 
What's music to some is noise to others, and vice-versa.
 
I think there'd be broad agreement, though, as to any given sonic phenomenon's fitness to even be in consideration for music status (even if pleasure/displeasure responses would vary widely).
 
I think music has to be deliberate -- an attempt by a thinking, sentient being to create music (thus I wouldn't accept unmanipulated patterns of sounds from nature -- no matter how pleasing -- or industry, as "music").
 
I suppose it is possible that whales and other advanced animals might have an artistic "esthetic" in their "songs," but as I'm not a whale, it's not music to me.Ermm

Here's my contibution:

Merzbow, Cannibal Corpse and Keith Rowe are music.

Sean Kingston is noise.

If the artist considers it music, it is music.
