Noise: Audiophiles Assemble!
Noise is an ‘experience’ and not just a store that sells state of the art branded audio systems
Sayedur Rahim Bappi feels that kids, more or less, can have only three 'royal' hobbies - a fascination for sports cars, a liking for wrist watches and last, but not the least, a great sounding stereo system.
The raw, intrinsic and personalised desire for listening to his favourite music in a state of the art stereo system is a hobby that Bappi grew up with. It is something that he inherited from his grandmother and then his father.
It was this blissful experience of listening to music in a royal manner that slowly turned Bappi into an audiophile, and it was a passion that later turned into a profession in the form of Noise.

Bappi has been in charge of Noise for the past 27 years and he refers to Noise more so as an 'experience', than just a store that sells state of the art branded audio systems. That is, because when you walk into the store, you just do not pick and choose a speaker that you Googled on the internet.
Noise has two separate demonstration rooms for you to 'experience' the product. The home theater demo room has the setup that any ordinary living room or drawing room can be potentially transformed into. With a 5.1 surround layer sound system, including speakers and a subwoofer, you just do not 'watch' a movie on the screen. You 'feel' it. If you are watching Superman on it, you will feel the turbulence from the gusts of wind flowing past Clark Kent when he is flying around at a thousand miles per hour. You can feel the impact and the extent of a collision due to the subwoofer.
All in all, it is not the Tk100-150K home theater that Noise is selling. It is the entire experience of watching and enjoying a movie, the way it was meant to be experienced.
The other demo room is for the audiophile who does not compromise on sound quality. The stereo streaming experience room has one of the finest 'network streamers' available on the market.
The theory behind the network streamer is about trying to cope up with how the means of consuming music has evolved over time. People used to turn to CDs and LPs for the highest sound qualities back in the day. However, people mostly stream their music on Spotify and Youtube these days.
With the network streamer, you could stream your music directly through it and take the experience to the next level; something that a portable speaker or a mobile phone can never replicate. In a digital world, the demo room gives you an analog experience of the old days.
Noise has its own set of engineers and staff, who will guide you every step of the way while setting up your dream home theater. They provide you with the real experience as to what you will be buying before you make the final purchase. They will set the entire theater up at your home too if you ask for it.
