Usages of chǎo

她tā　不bù　喜欢xǐhuan　在zài　很hěn　吵chǎo　的de　地方dìfang　健身jiànshēn，　觉jué得de　公园gōngyuán　比bǐ　体育馆tǐyùguǎn　安静ānjìng。tā bù xǐhuan zài hěn chǎo de dìfang jiànshēn, juéde gōngyuán bǐ tǐyùguǎn ānjìng.
She doesn’t like working out in very noisy places and feels the park is quieter than the gym.
那nà　家jiā　体育馆tǐyùguǎn　音乐yīnyuè　放fàng　得de　很hěn　大dà，　有yǒu　人rén　觉jué得de　很hěn　有意思yǒuyìsi，　也yě　有yǒu　人rén　觉jué得de　太tài　吵chǎo。nà jiā tǐyùguǎn yīnyuè fàng de hěn dà, yǒu rén juéde hěn yǒuyìsi, yě yǒu rén juéde tài chǎo.
In that gym the music is played very loud; some people think it’s fun, and some think it’s too noisy.
那nà　位wèi　老师lǎoshī　说话shuōhuà　的de　声音shēngyīn　不bú　大dà，　在zài　吵chǎo　的de　教室jiàoshì　里lǐ　不bú　太tài　好hǎo　听清楚tīngqīngchu。nà wèi lǎoshī shuōhuà de shēngyīn bú dà, zài chǎo de jiàoshì lǐ bú tài hǎo tīngqīngchu.
That teacher’s voice isn’t loud; in a noisy classroom it’s not very easy to hear clearly.
我wǒ　觉jué得de　这zhè　间jiān　教室jiàoshì　比bǐ　图书馆túshūguǎn　吵chǎo　多duō，　在zài　里lǐ面miàn　学习xuéxí　不bú　太tài　舒服shūfu。wǒ juéde zhè jiān jiàoshì bǐ túshūguǎn chǎo duō, zài lǐmiàn xuéxí bú tài shūfu.
I feel this classroom is much noisier than the library, and it’s not very comfortable to study in here.
比起bǐqǐ　在zài　吵chǎo　的de　饭店fàndiàn，　我wǒ　更gèng　喜欢xǐhuan　在zài　轻松qīngsōng　的de　咖啡馆kāfēiguǎn　聊天liáotiān。bǐqǐ zài chǎo de fàndiàn, wǒ gèng xǐhuan zài qīngsōng de kāfēiguǎn liáotiān.
Compared with noisy restaurants, I prefer chatting in a relaxed café.
教室Jiàoshì　太tài　吵chǎo　了le，　她tā　受不了shòubuliǎo，　就jiù　去qù　图书馆túshūguǎn　学习xuéxí。Jiàoshì tài chǎo le, tā shòubuliǎo, jiù qù túshūguǎn xuéxí.
The classroom is too noisy; she can’t stand it, so she goes to the library to study.
她tā　的de　性格xìnggé　跟gēn　我wǒ　很hěn　像xiàng，　都dōu　不bù　喜欢xǐhuan　吵chǎo　的de　地方dìfang。tā de xìnggé gēn wǒ hěn xiàng, dōu bù xǐhuan chǎo de dìfang.
Her personality is very similar to mine; we both don’t like noisy places.

“How do tones work in Chinese?”
Mandarin Chinese has four main tones plus a neutral tone. The same syllable can mean completely different things depending on the tone — for example, "mā" (mother), "má" (hemp), "mǎ" (horse), and "mà" (scold). Mastering tones is essential for being understood.
