Meaning
Happiness Noise is a feel good meme that is generally used to demonstrate undue happiness when things go well in our lives. The husky at the center of the blurred image looks perfectly overcome with joy. Users that relate to these feels have found solace in using Happiness Noise for all their joyous occasions.
Though it has many positive uses, Happiness Noise can be used when someone is feeling less-than-satisfied. In many cases, Happiness Noise can be used in the event that someone is expecting one outcome, only to find the results aren't what they were expecting. While things aren’t as bad as they could be, they aren't quite as good either. Oftentimes, these versions of the meme replace “happiness” with “sadness” or any other descriptor.
