How it's used

This expression specifically captures the chaotic, bustling energy of a place packed with people. It implies a sense of overwhelming sound and movement that makes it hard to hear or focus. While it describes noise, the focus is equally on the density of the crowd causing that noise.

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe a single loud person or a mechanical noise. It is strictly reserved for environments where a large number of people are gathered together, creating a collective din.
