I liked the rhythm you had going, the distorted bass and the airy drone in the background, good stuff. The noisy sound you were going for isn't bad at all but I think it could be executed a bit better. I think as someone else said it sounds quite tinny and hissy and it's just a bit too off-putting to my ears. Maybe if you tamed that a bit with some EQ cut it would work better? (again to parrot another comment, it needs less presence I feel). I can definitely imagine how this jarring kind of uncomfortable sound could be used to good effect, just some room for improvement 🙂

I like the distorted sounds you've chose and there is an impressive loudness in your track (that's not easy to do)! For a little bit of constructive criticism, I really like the selection of sounds you chose, but there is a tinny quality that I feel dominates over the rest of the frequency spectrum; I think an EQ cut in the high-mids/presence range (or potentially even the 1k-2k region) could really benefit the song while still keeping the vibe you were going for! I really like your interpretation of the theme, I could imagine the wide grin of the cactus as I listened (in a good way)! Really cool submission!
