意思
to cause a public reaction
文化背景
In Polish politics, 'szum medialny' is often used as a defensive term by politicians to claim that a scandal is just 'empty noise' created by opponents. The Polish startup scene heavily uses 'zrobić szum' as a direct translation of 'to generate hype', reflecting the influence of Silicon Valley culture. The 'szum' of the Polish Hussars' wings was a psychological warfare tactic; today, 'zrobić szum' can still imply an intimidating presence. Poles use 'szum' to describe the 'cancel culture' phenomenon, where a collective 'noise' leads to someone being ostracized.
Use with 'wokół'
Always try to add 'wokół' (around) + Genitive to sound more natural. 'Zrobić szum' on its own is okay, but 'zrobić szum wokół premiery' is native-level.
Negative Connotations
Be careful: 'zrobić szum' can sometimes imply that the attention is undeserved or fake. If you want to be purely positive, use 'odnieść sukces' (to achieve success).

The 'Pudelek' Effect
In Poland, 'szum' is the currency of gossip sites like Pudelek.pl. If someone is 'doing szum', they are likely trying to get on the front page of such sites.
