What does jaleo mean?

ExpressionColoquial

racket, commotion

The noise people make: voices, music, an argument in the street. It is not the noise of roadworks or traffic — it is the noise of human beings enjoying themselves or falling out. It also covers an organisational mess: menudo jaleo con los horarios.

Anoche había un jaleo en la calle que no se podía dormir.
People, not machinery.
