Why is this the answer?

The answer is noise because this is a very clever riddle that uses words to trick your mind and make you think of something you can see, when the answer is something you can only hear. Let us look at the first two big hints. The riddle says, "Sometimes I am loud. And viewed with distaste." What is something that is loud and that people do not like to hear? That is unwanted sound, which we call noise! Think about a loud alarm clock early in the morning, a noisy construction site, or a big dog barking right next to you. These sounds are loud, and they make people feel annoyed, which is what "viewed with distaste" means. The riddle is trying to make you think about annoying sounds right away. The next part is the sneakiest trick of all: "Poke out my 'eye', then I'm on the front of your face." This clue is a big distraction! It is not talking about a real eye that you can poke. The riddle uses this clue to make you think of things that are physical and are on your face, like a nose or glasses. But the answer, noise, is an invisible thing that travels as sound waves. The clever part is that the riddle is reminding you that your face is where many loud sounds start, with your mouth and voice. When you get stuck looking for something physical to poke, the riddle is playing a joke on you to steer you away from the simple answer of an annoying sound. It is a roundabout way to point back to the noise that comes from your face. So, the riddle is a fun word puzzle, and the first two clues are the most important for finding the final answer.
