Reception

Critical reception

Robert Copsey of Digital Spy blog gave the song a positive review stating:

For their latest track 'White Noise' they've hooked up with trendy newbies AlunaGeorge - a savvy collaboration that's been carefully timed following their shared domination of last month's ones-to-watch lists. That's not to say it sounds forced; Disclosure's humming bassline, swirling synths and addictive clubby beeps are perfectly tailored to Aluna's pitched vocal. The result strikes a rarely-heard balance between hipster-friendly and potential chart-dominator. .[1]

Freddie Holmes of The Underclassed gave the track a mixed review stating that "It’s a great track nonetheless, especially to someone that hasn’t heard any of either group’s previous material, but my superfan standpoint has rendered me to be overly critical."[2]

Commercial performance

The song entered at number twenty eight on the UK Singles Chart.[3] The following week, it climbed twenty six places to number two on the chart, beaten to the top by Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz.[4]
