Complex to simple- The noise increased as the day advanced

[Barman]

Complex: The noise increased as the day advanced.

Simple: a) The noise increased with the advancement of the day.

b) The day having been advanced, the noise increased.

c) The day advancing, the noise increased.

d) The day being advanced, the noise increased.

Are a), b), c), d) grammatically correct?

None of them is natural.

OK. Then, how can I write this sentence?

OK. Then, how can I write this sentence?

"The noise increased throughout the day."

Depending on the broader context, "as the day unfolded" might work.

Complex: The noise increased as the day advanced.

Simple: a) The noise increased with the advancement of the day.

b) The day having been advanced, the noise increased.

c) The day advancing, the noise increased.

d) The day being advanced, the noise increased.

Are a), b), c), d) grammatically correct?

In my opinion, the complex sentence is most natural.
Otherwise, I would use TEECHAR's proposition, "as the day unfolded..."
Completely unnatural sentences are crossed out.

Complex: The noise increased as the day advanced. (Okay)
The noise increased as the day unfolded. (Also okay.)

Simple: a) The noise increased with the unfolding of the day. (Poetic...)
a) The noise increased with the advancement of the day. (It's a little strange but I would say it's okay.)

[STRIKE]b) The day having been unfolded, the noise increased.[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]b) The day having been advanced, the noise increased.[/STRIKE]Nope. It is confusing.

c) The day unfolding, the noise increased. (also poetic, but somewhat unnatural)
c) The day advancing, the noise increased. (It seems a little strange.)

[STRIKE]d) The day being unfolded, the noise increased. [/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]d) The day being advanced, the noise increased.[/STRIKE] Nope. Actually, the meaning of this grammar is different from the original meaning. It means that the day already unfolded or advanced, meaning it is evening or the day has (almost?) ended, yet it seems like you are trying to use a progression of time with the second phrase. It doesn't work together.

It seems like the use of "being" or "been" is not okay in this context.

In which variety of English do you see those as being okay?

It doesn't work together.

What do you mean by that?
