No, that's nature. Noise music is still planned. I'd consider it music if the artist created the motion of the noise themselves, or edit it to be apart of the music piece that satisfies some sort of musical agenda. It still has to take direction to what the music piece is actually about. I'm not talking about empty noises, I'm talking about the culture around noise music production. I wouldn't just record what was going on in the atmosphere and call it music. But hey, even then there might be something there that I don't hear, it's really subjective.
