I agree with Jaap and i'm against rename it...
Also i don't like Tempo, Noise is much better...

Don't we already present Noise in the OS as a music player?
Doesn't the icon have the purpose of showing the user what the app
probably does?
IMO "Noise" relates more to music than "Tempo" does. Also, if we
are going this way with Noise because the name should directly
show people what the app does, we should probably rename Geary and
Midori too. And the makers of Empathy, Skype, Spotify, Steam,
Firefox, Opera, Launchpad, Google Plus, Banshee, Clementine should
probably have to start to think about a new name too.
When we moved from Beatbox to our own fork the choice was made to
name it "Noise". That already resulted in some confusion among the
users. Renaming it again will only yet again result in more confusion.
There will always be people who say a certain name is not good for
the app, or that it is weird. The same will happen when you rename
it to "Tempo", or any other name for that matter.
IMO Noise should only be renamed if there is a really, really good
reason to, and some users complaining it may sound negative is a
good reason, i think. Also when you choose to rename it, the new
name should be significantly better than the old name, if you want
to show the confused users that it was really necessary and useful
to make the change.
Just my two cents,
Jaap

It's trivial to you because you know what Noise is. It's a media
player, you know it.
For people who don't, it's better if that name it is installed
under in the computer is "Music Player" or something like that.
It's easier for most people.
