Sound of White Noise is the name of the sixth album by the 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, 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" ,"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. 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 "C₁₁H₁₇N₂O₂S Na" refers to sodium pentathol.

A music video was produced for "Black Lodge," which features Jenna Elfman as the lead role in one of her first film appearances.

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.
