"Noise" is part of an audio signal that is not the intended signal. When you listen to music on the radio, you can hear the music, and usually also some noise. When computers record or play audio, the electronic components sometimes create extra noise. Sometimes it can be your background noise recorded your audio.

When you want to share your work, or use it in another application, you must export it. When you "export" audio, Audacity converts the Audacity-only file into a conventional audio file. Audacity does not delete the original Audacity-only file, but the exported file cannot be converted into the Audacity-only format.

# SAVE PROJECT: All the edits including files can be saved in '''''uncompressed''''', '''''lossless''''' quality using the '''''AU''''' format. An '''''AUP''''' project file is created, along with a folder with the same name as the AUP file that contains the project's audio data. For example, if you save a project as <code>independence day.aup</code>, a folder called <code>independence day_data</code> will contain the audio data. We can save the '''''AUP''''' project file with keyboard <code>'''Ctrl+S'''</code> shortcut or through '''File -> Save''' '''Project''' from the Menu.
