When I was at school, my teacher for music class gave us the following definition:
"Music is organised sound; noise is disorganised sound."
I've always found that useful, even if it goes against my own particular tastes: if someone deliberately generates a sound, or combination of sounds, for the purpose of making those sounds (and not incidental to some other process that happens to make a sound), then it's music.
I'm sure others disagree! :)
