Shouldn’t that be “noise” instead of “signal”?
I mean depends on the context, in the specific case which i was thinking of it is signal but usually its noise. I have mainly worked with ac and dc signal coupling so thats why both sre signals for me when i think if it.
That makes sense. In distortions for music instruments all of it is signal for instance. It’s just that sometimes you don’t want all of it because you want a specific sound to be produced.
I’m most used to working with digital electronics with a crystal supplying the frequency, so for me anything that is above that frequency is noise.
