To sign 'sounds', start by pointing to your ear with your dominant index finger. Next, bring both hands in front of you with your palms facing down and fingers spread apart. Move both hands outward and slightly downward in a wavy, vibrating motion, as if you are showing sound waves traveling through the air.
To sign this, you can sign NATURE, then use the sign for SOUNDS, followed by an expression of enjoyment or the sign for LOVE.
Sign COW, then SOUNDS, and use a questioning facial expression with furrowed eyebrows to ask the question.
Establish MOVIE first, then sign SOUNDS, and finish with LOUD, using an intense facial expression to emphasize the volume.

No, they are different. 'Hear' is typically signed by simply pointing to or tapping the ear. 'Sounds' includes the additional wavy hand motion to represent the audio waves themselves.
Yes, you can use this sign for 'noise' in many contexts. However, if the noise is particularly loud or annoying, signers often use a different sign where both hands point to the ears and shake intensely.
Using both hands is the standard and clearest way to sign 'sounds', as it shows the waves spreading out. However, in fast or casual signing, you might occasionally see someone use only their dominant hand.
