White Noise is a 2005 supernatural horror thriller film directed by Geoffrey Sax and starring Michael Keaton and Deborah Kara Unger. The title refers to electronic voice phenomena (EVP), where anomalous voice-like sounds, which some believe to be from the "other side" — interpreted as spirit voices, are found on electronic audio recordings.

The film did very well at the box office despite generally poor reviews from both critics and audiences. The commercial success of White Noise led Universal and other studios to realize there was an untapped audience for horror films released in January and began releasing higher-quality horror films during that period, usually dismissed as the winter dump months of the film calendar.
