The noise wars in helio- and asteroseismology

During this conference, latest results on helioseismology (both local and global) as well as in asteroseismology have been reviewed, the hottest questions discussed and the future prospects of our field fully debated. A conference so rich in the variety of topics addressed is impossible to be deeply reviewed in a paper. Therefore, I present here my particular view of the field as it is today, concentrating on the solar-like stars and global helioseismology. The link I found to do so is the constant battle in which we are all engaged against the sources of noise that difficult our studies. The noise in the data, the noise in the inversions, the precision and accuracy of our inferred models...
