Significado
Being loud or causing disturbance.
Contexto cultural
In apartment buildings (binalar), making noise after 11 PM is socially unacceptable and can lead to visits from the 'Məhəllə rəisi' or police. Noise is a sign of a successful celebration. Traditional instruments like the 'zurna' and 'nağara' are meant to 'səs salmaq' so the whole village knows there is a wedding. Azerbaijani news headlines frequently use 'səs salan' to describe viral or shocking events, similar to 'breaking news' or 'sensational'. Teachers in Azerbaijan often use the phrase 'Səs salmayın!' as a rhythmic command to regain control of a classroom.
Use with 'çox'
To say someone is making 'a lot' of noise, always put 'çox' before 'səs': 'Çox səs salmaq'.
Don't use for 'Vote'
Never use 'səs salmaq' when you mean voting. It sounds like you are planning to protest or disrupt the election!
