[QUOTE="Aboutagirl~Shell, post: 2571822, member: 762051"] They were saying that the noise was hell-like. We'd say in conversational English 'the noise was a nightmare!' or 'the noise was horrendous'. The adjective 'infernal' is more formal in English; lots of our posh English words are French words we've borrowed lol. If you say, 'c'est de l'enfer!' - it's a nightmare. Literally, 'it's hell'. Le bruit de l'enfer would be another way of saying 'le bruit infernal'. Good luck. =) [/QUOTE]
