A television show / movie you’ve seen enough times that you know the plot by heart and it no longer requires active attention to follow, so you watch it while you’re completing other quiet activities, to fill the room with some kind of noise.
Friend: Hey, I thought we were going to study, why is Friends/Seinfield/The Office/Parks and Rec on?
You: I’m not watching it, it’s just background noise, let’s study!

when the "word on the street" or the hype on investor blogs is the basis for which an investor makes a market trade; when a trade is based on casual speculation rather than on press released information based on substance

Another way of saying “all those good things you want to hear” while chatting or another way of saying “etc.”
We will be allocating funds to stop global warming which will help with deforestation, pollution and all that good noise.

A play on the term "white noise", referring to news and social media posts which are designed to make you outraged about some one or some thing, but which provide you no opportunity to actually do anything about it. Also referred to as "Outrage Porn".
"Have you seen that video of the mom who yelled at the taco bell drive thru because they forgot her fries?"

Ninja noise is the electrically induced noise as a result of a ninja uncertainty quantum probability state of a room. Lighted rooms tend to have less ninjas than a dark room.
Ninja noise is an electrically induced noise due to the statistical presence of ninjas.
A lighted living room of around 30m^2 has an average estimated amount of 20 ninja's. Dark rooms approach quantum levels that make it impossible to estimate the amount of ninja's mathematically. Because of the statistical backgrounds, one can never tell if ninjas are there. Only the probability due to the quantum ninja wave function. According to the principle of Heisenberg, the position of the ninja and the speed can never be determined at the same time.
