Речь идет о таверне.
Никак не могу припомнить: сдается мне, есть какое-то устойчивое английское сочетание, тоже из двух слов. Подскажите please!

roil and turmoil
I was going to suggest "hustle and bustle" (still a possibility) but came across this while looking for examples. Both these are more about great activity than great noise, but why should noise alone leave them nowhere to sit down?
Azad Goes to a Railway Restaurant, by Ratan Nath Dar Sarshar
When he reached the Lucknow railway station, there was such a hustle and bustle, such a roil and turmoil, such a clamor and crowding, that shoulders were pressed up against shoulders. The reverend Brahmin with his water-buckets is forcing his way through the tumult: “Cold water!” The brass drinking-cups make their own clatter. The ordinary water-carriers with their large or small water-skins are making the rounds. Off to one side the hookah-man has filled the pipe with a sweet-and-bitter tobacco mixture and is burbling for customers; the rich aroma could turn one’s nose into a perfumer’s box. Next to the platform the potter has arranged his wares for sale. The clay toys are so ravishing that visitors hasten to buy them up and carry them off. Buyers push and shove other buyers; they fling down their money and grab the hookah. Immediately the water-carrier freshens the hookah, sprinkling water on its bowl. The hookah-man fills the hookah-bowl with tobacco; the customer wafts clouds of smoke into the air.
