A nonmusical sound that includes a random mix of pitches?
You might be thinking of 'white noise' except that white noise isn't really a random mix of pitches. I believe it is a deliberate mix of a very wide range of pitches. White noise is about as nonmusical as complete silence, but then again silence is not entirely nonmusical. I wouldn't enjoy a steady diet of white noise, but there are some experimental musics that incorporate it as an element.
What is a term for 3 or more musical pitches sounded simultaneously?
Typically, when two or more pitches are sounded together, we identify the sound as "harmony". Depending on the character of this harmony, we can further describe the sound as "consonant" (meaning, "sounding good together"), or "dissonant". Consonant harmonies typically consist of the perfect intervals (unisons, octaves, fourths, and fifths), as well as thirds and sixths (major and minor). Dissonant intervals range from strong dissonances (such as the minor second and major seventh, as well as the augmented fourth), to lesser dissonances such as the minor seventh.

This is a pretty broad question. It really depends on what era of music we are talking about but overall I'd say using different instrumentation creates a great variety of sounds for composers and using a wide variety of tempos and pitches keeps it interesting.
