Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville recorded someone singing an excerpt from the French folksong "Au Clair de la Lune" on April 9, 1860, and deposited the results with the Academie des Sciences in Paris in 1861 (16 years before Thomas Edison invention of the phonograph). Four years earlier, in 1857, he deposited with the Institut National de la Propriete Industrielle as documenting "Phonautographie de la voix humaine a distance (the human voice at a distance)", the first sound ever recorded. Two brief excerpts from two different records on this sheet are the earliest traces of his work played back to date, but his recording methods were not yet sophisticated enough at this time to yield audibly recognizable results. The phonautrograph machine was able to record sound but not to play recorded sounds. It tooks more than 150 years to hear for the first time those recordings, thanks to researchers of First Sounds collective. When listening to those excerpts, it appears clearly that noise is a seminal component of the history of record industry.
