Noise as (non-text)

It would be an easy concession to grant noise a space in the methodological field of textuality. Noise maps superficially to a number of textual 'characteristics'. Quoting Barthes:

"The Text practices the infinite deferment of the signified, is dilatory; its field is that of the signifier [...]. Similarly, the infinity of the signifier refers not to some idea of the ineffable (the unnameable signified), but to that of a playing; the generation of the perpetual signifier in the field of the text is realized not according to an organic progress of maturation or a hermeneutic course of deepening investigation, but, rather, according to a serial movement of disconnections, overlapping, variations" (Barthes, 171).
