Background Noise

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!

Good noise

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.

noise platinum

When a noise musician sells over 100 copies of their album/mixtape in a week.

"When clipping. and I visited the Sub Pop offices for the first time, they showed us their wall of platinum and gold records. William Hutson responded 'Once I put out a tape and sold 100 copies in a week, that's called going noise platinum' and only the clipping guys and I laughed." - @deathbombarc on twitter

bartground noise

The background noise that occurs when one is talking on the phone while riding the Bay Area Rapid Transit system.

I was trying to talk to Joe, but there was too much bartground noise to hear him.

White Noise

Reasonably obscure punk band from Minnesota during the mid-eighties. Not skinhead, despite the name. They were just white and noisy, plain and simple.

Matilda fell on the beer in Richard's basement while White Noise repeated their first set.
