  2. Radio noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_noise

    Radio noise is a combination of natural electromagnetic atmospheric noise ("spherics", static) created by electrical processes in the atmosphere like lightning; human-made radio frequency interference (RFI) from other electrical devices picked up by the receiver's antenna; and thermal noise present in the receiver input circuits, mostly caused ...

  3. Atmospheric noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_noise

    The sum of all these lightning flashes results in atmospheric noise. It can be easily heard with any AM radio or SSB receiver tuned to an unused frequency. [4] The heard static is a combination of white noise (cumulative of distant thunderstorms) and impulse noise (from relatively nearby thunderstorms, if any). The power-sum varies with seasons ...

  4. Cosmic noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_noise

    Cosmic noise, also known as galactic radio noise, is a physical phenomenon derived from outside of the Earth's atmosphere. It is not actually sound, and it can be detected through a radio receiver , which is an electronic device that receives radio waves and converts the information given by them to an audible form.

  5. Noise (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(electronics)

    Atmospheric noise Also called static noise, it is caused by lightning discharges in thunderstorms and other electrical disturbances occurring in nature, such as corona discharge. Industrial noise Sources such as automobiles, aircraft, ignition electric motors and switching gear, High voltage wires and fluorescent lamps cause industrial noise ...

  6. White noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_noise

    A simple example of white noise is a nonexistent radio station (static). ... Alternatively, the use of an AM radio tuned to unused frequencies ("static") ...

  7. Noise (signal processing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(signal_processing)

    Electromagnetically induced noise, audible noise due to electromagnetic vibrations in systems involving electromagnetic fields; Noise (video), such as "snow" Noise (radio), such as "static", in radio transmissions; Image noise, affects images, usually digital ones Salt and pepper noise or spike noise, scattered very dark or very light pixels

    The reason is twofold: Electric motors render the fuzzy sound of AM stations fuzzier still. And even as AM declines in popularity, keeping antiquated AM radios in cars costs manufacturers.

  9. Noise (video) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(video)

    Noise, static or snow screen captured from a VHS tape. Noise, commonly known as static, white noise, static noise, or snow, in analog video, CRTs and television, is a random dot pixel pattern of static displayed when no transmission signal is obtained by the antenna receiver of television sets and other display devices.
