What is market noise?

By John Russell, About.com

Question: What is market noise?
Answer: Market noise is the seemingly mindless back and forth movement on the smaller time frames. A trader’s definition of market noise is usually relative to the time frames that they are trading. A trader that trades a 1 hour time frame might think that the 15 min chart contains market noise while a trader that trades 15 minute charts might think that a 5 minute chart contains market noise.
