Noise is a Belgian Netflix original movie that has made its way into the Netflix Top 10 amidst stiff competition from Luther: The Fallen Sun.

Directed by Steffen Geypens, Noise is a psychological thriller that recounts the life of Matthias, an influencer and new parent. In the film, he gets sucked into a deep investigation into his father's past which he starts sharing with his followers.

Whilst he continues to dredge up new secrets as he falls further down the rabbit hole, Matt starts becoming more sensitive to noise as his own mental health takes a hit. Meanwhile, the people closest to him start to worry about Matt and his behavior and begin to worry he might be losing himself in the process.
