Generally, analogue recordings are more susceptible to noise than digital recordings.
But noises that are more difficult to control include inherent ambient noises like hiss, clicks, and static or even mechanical noises that result from system itself. Background noises over which you have some degree of control include noises like someone coughing or slamming the door. Background noiserefers to any unwanted noise from the surrounding that becomes an unintentional part of the recording.
The quality of audio recording for music or podcasting can suffer considerably due to the presence of background noise.
