A ghost that hauntingly makes noises is often referred to as a "poltergeist." The term "poltergeist" comes from the German words "poltern," meaning "to make noise" or "to rumble," and "Geist," meaning "spirit" or "ghost." A poltergeist is commonly associated with paranormal activity characterized by loud noises, banging, knocking, footsteps, or other disruptive sounds.
Poltergeists are often depicted as mischievous entities that are believed to manipulate objects and create disturbances, including audible phenomena. These noises can be attributed to their supposed ability to interact with the physical environment and cause objects to move or vibrate, resulting in eerie sounds.
It's important to note that beliefs and interpretations of paranormal phenomena can vary across cultures and individuals, and scientific explanations for such occurrences may differ from supernatural or paranormal explanations.
