tohubohu (n)
Chaos, confusion. (This is Wordnik's word of the day.)
"For how long now have we been asleep, drugged by noise and music, unable to see, unable to think? Hermes has taken power over the entire world. Our technological world exists only as an integral of the tohubohu. You can no longer find anything on earth -- not the ground, not a furrow, not a small insect, not the slightest hollow -- that is not covered by the diluvian waters of racket."
--Thomas M. Kavanagh, The Limits of Theory
Depends on what you consider racket, I guess. I'd say there are limits to this theory.
