Incorrect spelling, explanation: when we want to form an adjective in English, a popular suffix added to a word is -y. However, the spelling of the root word sometimes has to change. That happens in the case of the word noisy. When we add the -y ending to the word noise, the -e letter disappears. Therefore, the correct spelling is noisy, not noisey.
Correct spelling, explanation: noisy is an adjective from the noun noise. We can form adjectives from nouns by adding a suffix to a noun. If the noun has an -e in the ending, this letter is removed, and then -y is added as a suffix. That’s why the only correct form of this word is noisy, not noisey.
