chapter 1
We would imagine a dark night having no noises, being completely hushed, but Fitzgerald made Nick Carraway in reaction to Gatsby's presence think of it as a night full of noises.
I think the best one word description of how Nick perceives the "unquiet" would be to replace it with "unsettled."
