Lost in the noise
Synonym lost in the underflow.
This term is from signal processing, where signals of very small amplitude cannot be separated from low-intensity noise in the system.
Though popular among hackers, it is not confined to hackerdom; physicists, engineers, astronomers, and statisticians all use it.
