In computer science, syntactic noise is syntax within a programming language that makes the programming language more difficult to read and understand for humans. It describes syntax that distracts from the semantic meaning of the source code. Syntactic noise is considered to be the opposite of syntactic sugar, which is syntax that aims to make a programming language more readable and enjoyable to the programmer. Syntactic noise is syntax that is not intuitive.
