And please don't give me a bunch of BS about telephones and alarm clocks, that dosen't qualify as music either. Those sounds don't serve a musical purpose, so its not music, its just getting someones attention with really annoying sounds, like Michael Angelo Batio.
So, if I find a machine noise rhythmical is it not music? I've worked in a few factorys and I have often found myself bopping around to a machines repeditive sound. or am I just "Noise Jumping"

I should be glad to be so inclined.
What a waste! What a waste!
