Noice is a Swedish rock group from Gustavsberg formed in 1977.

The band began in the early 1970's when friends Peo Thyrén (bass guitar, vocals), Freddie Hansson (keyboards) and Robert Klasen (drums) started playing together in an unnamed band. Later they had a band called Pink Panthers, which also included Hasse Carlsson (lead vocals, guitar) and Robert Liman (guitar, left the band before the debut album), which in 1977 changed their name to Noise (spelling later changed to Noice, as there was already an existing Swedish band called Noise).^[1]

After winning a talent contest, the band were signed to Sonet and released their punk rock-influenced debut album Tonårsdrömmar ("Teenage dreams") in 1979. They had a major breakthrough when they performed two songs on the television show Måndagsbörsen in March 1980.^[2] Fronted by 15 year old lead singer and guitarist Hasse Carlsson, none of the members were over the age of 18 at the time of the breakthrough. The debut album sold 100 000 copies in Sweden and the band became hugely popular, releasing a second album Bedårande barn av sin tid in 1980.^[3]

Noice scored successes at the same time as Gyllene Tider. Noice lost an Expressen vote between the two bands over which was the most popular.^[4]

The original line-up split in 1982 when Hasse Carlsson left the band for a solo career, but Noice have later reformed in various incarnations.^[2]

Peo Thyrén was a member of Easy Action during Noice's hiatus in the 1980s.^[2] Founder members Freddie Hansson and Hasse Carlsson died in 2001 and 2002 respectively from diseases related to drug abuse.^[2]

On September 29th, 2023, Noice released the first studio album since 2004, titled "Gustavsberg".^[5]
