Commentary:
Morrison includes the word noisome in her writing as an observation of a smell, while Shakespeare, through the character of Beatrice, employs the word in a decision or refusal to kiss Benedick. Noisome, though it may seem like it relates to the word noisy, has a different meaning completely. However, it also sounds somewhat like annoying, which is closer to the actual meaning.

Ugh. Such noisome breath. Someone clearly needs a mint. (Source)
