Sound
Noise
noun, suffix
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well.
おと
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word:
Did you hear that sound? It's barely audible (おと). Go ahead and say the word "audible" with the pronunciation of おと to help you to remember this.
二かいから、大きな音がしました。
There was a loud noise upstairs.
となりのいえから、すごく上手なリコーダーの音が聞こえてきます。
I can hear the sounds of a very good recorder coming from next door.
金魚が泣いている音を聞いたことはある？
