White Noise is the second album by American noise rock group Cop Shoot Cop, released on October 1, 1991, by Big Cat.^[2]

Critical reception[]

The Chicago Tribune wrote that "with two bass guitars, drums and a variety of taped sound effects, Cop Shoot Cop courts dissonance-'white noise'-without actually succumbing to it. Rather, 'white noise' might actually refer to the band itself, modern purveyors of the white-boy blues."^[3]
