'''''Sound of White Noise''''' is the name of the sixth album by the band [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]], released in May of [[1993]] on [[Elektra Records]]. It is the band's the first album with ex-[[Armored Saint]] vocalist [[John Bush (singer)|John Bush]], and also their last studio album to date with guitarist [[Dan Spitz]].
The band and [[Dave Jerden]] produced the album, which includes the singles, [[Only (Anthrax song)|"Only" ]],"[[Black Lodge]]", "Room for One More" and "Hy Pro Glo". This album marked a change in the sound of the band, mixing the old [[thrash metal]] with new [[grunge]] references (Dave Jerden was the producer of [[Alice in Chains]]) and the album got Anthrax's highest ever chart position, debuting at #7 on the [[Billboard 200]] charts, with "Only" and "Room For One More" in particular becoming major rock radio hits at their time. ''Sound of White Noise'' was certified gold by the RIAA.
Anthrax also contributed a song from these sessions called "Poison My Eyes" 7:05 to the [[Last Action Hero]] soundtrack.
The title "C<sub>11</sub>H<sub>17</sub>N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>S Na" is the [[chemical formula]] for [[Sodium thiopental|sodium pentathol]].
The closing of the album, which appears at the end of the song "This Is Not an Exit" includes a sample from the 1991 movie [[My Girl (film)|"My Girl"]].
A [[music video]] was produced for "Black Lodge", which features [[Jenna Elfman]] as the lead role in one of her first film appearances. The ''Black Lodge'' is a fictional place from the television series ''[[Twin Peaks]]'', which ''Twin Peaks'''s [[Film score|score]] conductor [[Angelo Badalamenti]] helped write.
This was released on LP in Europe (Catalog Number 7559-61430-1). The song "Black Lodge" was omitted from this vinyl release due to time.
