difference between やかましい and そうぞうしい

Question

these two words came up when I was looking at a vocabulary list that I'm supposed to study. I'm having trouble with understanding the difference and the usage of the words. If possible would someone please provide a couple of examples using both of the terms? I would appreciate it!

Answer 1

Not entirely sure about this, but from the different examples I've seen, やかましい seems to be more subjective, based on one's opinion or feelings, whereas そうぞうしい seems to be more objective and/or neutral.

Can't type Japanese on the computer I'm using right now, so I'll have to add examples later.
