A din is a loud, ugly noise that goes on and on — many sounds piled on top of each other, so you cannot think or talk easily. Think of a school at noon, in a narrow street, or a hall full of people all speaking at once. We say the din of the crowd, a terrible din, make a din. It is a little more colourful than noise, and you will meet it in stories and news more than in the most basic daily talk; is a close everyday cousin. There is also a verb, to din something into someone, meaning to repeat it until they cannot forget — related, but a different use.
喧鬧聲、嘈雜聲（持續又刺耳、混成一團的那種）
組成From Old English dyne, a loud noise. It does not split into English pieces. (From Proto-Germanic *duniz, from a root meaning “to make a noise”.)
