Pristine


Pristine: People think "pristine" means “spotless” or “good as new” when it actually means “Ancient, primeval; in a state virtually unchanged from the original." 

Forest and land can be pristine.

Noisome


Yes, it obviously has to do with some unpleasant and loud noise, right?

Actually, Noisome isn't about noise. It means obnoxious or objectionable to the senses, especially the sense of smell. It's a synonym of noxious and malodorous, not cacophonous or dissonant. It's related to annoy.
