In computer science, syntactic noise is a subjective and opinionated term that describes a set of syntax in a programming language that is difficult to read. Those who claim that a set of syntax is syntactic noise will argue that the syntax distracts from the semantic meaning of source code itself, thus making the source code more difficult for the programmer to read and understand. 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.
