HalfNoise was created two days after [[Zac Farro]]'s departure from Paramore, under the original name "Tunnel".<ref>{{cite web|url = https://soundcloud.com/tunnelmusic/tracks|title = tunnelmusic's sounds on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds|publisher = Soundcloud.com|date = December 9, 2010|accessdate = November 9, 2013}}</ref> Zac took part in this new project, along with Jason Clark, releasing a new song called "Hide Your Eyes" <ref>{{cite web|url = https://soundcloud.com/tunnelmusic|title = tunnelmusic's sounds on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds|publisher = Soundcloud.com|date = December 9, 2010|accessdate = November 9, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RN5tjRegWiM|title = YouTube|publisher = YouTube|date = |accessdate = November 9, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.altpress.com/news/entry/zac_farro_former_paramore_drummers_new_project_tunnel/|title = Listen to a song from the new band of Zac Farro - Alternative Press|publisher = Altpress.com|date = December 20, 2010|accessdate = November 9, 2013}}</ref>

Farro and Clark had earlier been together in a band with [[Taylor York]] and Farro's brother [[Josh Farro]] prior to [[Paramore]]. The duo then renamed themselves "HalfNoise" due to other bands being named "Tunnel". In March 2011, it was announced that Farro would be joining his brother's band [[Novel American]], but would still continue take part in HalfNoise.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.kerrang.com/blog/2011/02/zac_farro_joins_novel_america.html|title = Kerrang!
