Babel

/ˈbeɪbəl/ noun

A confusion of sounds or voices; a scene of noisy confusion, especially involving multiple languages.

From the Biblical Tower of Babel, where God confused human language to prevent the tower's completion. Hebrew 'Babel' likely derives from Akkadian 'Bab-ilu' meaning 'Gate of God,' the ancient name for Babylon.
