Well they are somewhat different, but I was simply making a specific point
that at some point we're just talking about two different sources of noise.
Regarding whether they are "completely" different --- if we had, say, an 16K
x 9K digital sample of an image, the digital visual noise would be so small
that it would be perceptually unnoticeable. And HD is already at a
resolution that is good enough that the digital noise is only barely
noticeable. You can also put filters in, etc., that can considerably soften
the "sawtooth" nature of digital noise, etc. These are all just technical
issues.

Well, obviously, again, I was talking in a different context when I made the
above statement. Of course people use noise for creative purposes. Speaking
of mp3 versus CD, I happen to have Elliot Sharp AND Merzbow on my ogg-vorbis
pocket music player ... my point above, however, was just that when comparing
different media one usually says that the "better" media have less noise.
But much more interestingly, one can simply use whatever properties a medium
happens to have to create interesting art.
