Bruit means noise and clamour, and by extension rumours and reports made public.
In particular it is the noise that can be heard when listening to a partially blocked artery through a stethoscope.
"
My doctor was not impressed when he heard the bruit - hence my angiogram."
I love this and will enjoy coming back frequently. I never thought to keep a record of 'new' words I come across though I do love it when i find myself reading something and it has unfamiliar vocabulary, I tend to think of it as a good sign in a book.

'Bruit' is French for noise. Interesting that the English version is specifcially for what I would term as White Noise.
