White Noise is the fifth studio album by Australian punk rock band The Living End, first released in Australia on 19 July 2008.

[9] After a live show in late 2006, the band was placed on hiatus due to the fatigue of lead vocalist Chris Cheney.

[10] In February 2008, The Living End, under the alias of The Longnecks, played a small tour across Victoria to road-test songs they had written for their fifth studio album.

They played a handful of dates and used the audience's reaction to the new material as a guide to which songs sounded better in a live environment.

[10] Only four days after the mastering of the album was completed, The Living End released a taster track titled "How Do We Know", which was posted on the Triple J website for download on 23 May 2008, available for one week only.
