While the visual aspect is more conventional and doesn't offer any major innovations, it takes a backseat, as the sound is the true protagonist, elevating the movie theater experience. [Full review in Spanish]

Noise is the best example of how bad it is to try to continue experimenting with ideas and concepts that, long ago, stopped yielding any fruit. [Full review in Spanish]

While the sound design is first-rate, befitting the concept, the cinematography is so muted and dark that it saps the film’s power, even though it forces the audience to concentrate harder on its array of noises.

Noise crucially lacks a sense of accumulating tension. Its first act effectively establishes a sense of unknowable dread, but the film quickly becomes repetitive, and then eventually stagnant.

the screenplay finds new ways to toggle ... between Is it supernatural? and Is there a simple explanation? For every character who’s a Mulder, there’s a character who’s a Scully. Unlike so many horror films, I found the conclusion to be very satisfying.

Noise is an auditory nightmare fueled by uncertainty and a foreboding atmosphere. Authentic moments of dread are drowned out by the echoing reverb of halfhearted writing.

A idéia condutora é bem interessante, e algumas decisões técnicas muito boas. Começou bem, mas o fim se atrapalha em algumas decisões como a irmã parar de querer achar o corpo da irmã, aceitando o fantasma. Ou a sugestão de agora ela ficou a doida do barulho. Só quem morou em apto sabe a paranoia de ruidos que existe. Realmente é desumano.

This is already super creepy, I'm totally loving this vibe the story is giving. We have us a mystery afoot, I'm getting a bit excited now. The Haunting visuals are freaking awesome, and we're not even 30 minutes in. We've a knife wielding deranged neighbor behind dead eyes, and this can only spell trouble or it's a clever distraction. The building management will do anything to keep people distracted from the deaths and ghostly apparitions others are seeing. *It's definitely worth watching people*

Sound anomaly is interesting and ending is good. There were some really nice ideas specially when deaf girl track sound by her phone.

Noise falls short as a horror film, lacking the chilling elements needed to create real fear. Instead, it leans more toward a social commentary, exposing the harsh realities of poor apartment construction and its impact on residents’ lives.
