what is the meaning of bugler and burglar

[Alan]

Hi,

A burglar is a thief who breaks into your house and steals things. A bugler is someone who plays the bugle - a sort of trumpet played often for military occasions by a group of buglers to announce the start of a ceremony.

Hi,

I don't know how big your house is! Personally I'm sure I'd know whether or not there was a bugler in my house.

Especially since a bugler is supposed to make music rather than noise.

Not yet Art. Maybe you can record a song and put it online for us to decide whether it's noise or music?
