White NoiseĀ tells the story of Jack Gladney, his fourth wife, Babette, and four ultraĀmodern offspring as they navigate the rocky passages of family life to the background babble of brand-name consumerism. When an industrial accident unleashes an "airborne toxic event," a lethal black chemical cloud floats over their lives. The menacing cloud is a more urgent and visible version of the "white noise" engulfing the Gladneysāradio transmissions, sirens, microwaves, ultrasonic appliances, and TV murmuringsāpulsing with life, yet suggesting something ominous.
