Noise (Goidelic mythology)

In Goidelic mythology, Noise was the nephew of King Conchobar of Ulster, and a son of Usnech.

Conchobar planned on marrying his step-daughter, the beautiful Deirdre. She fell in love with Noise, and they fled to Scotland with his two brothers. Conchobar's messengers asked Noise and his brothers to return to Ireland. They did and he killed them. Deirdre died of grief.
