The Noise was a short-lived game show for Universal Kids network where kids earn points, prizes, and cash by being quiet. It is somewhat a kid's spinoff of Silent Library, even though it does not take place in a library. It also has the elements of Finders Keepers with the run of the house, except quieter.
Gameplay[]
Main Game[]
Two teams of two kids battle it out in a challenge of skill, speed & sounds. Each show features the teams taking on timed mindless tasks where the goal is to not make so much noise. So the quieter, the better. Teams score points based on how quiet they finish the challenge; so the quieter the task, the more points they can score. The progress is being kept track by what's called the "Noise-O-Meter", which determines how loud the sound gets. If it gets too loud and the Noise-O-Meter reaches maximum volume level, the team automatically loses the challenge.
The first round has a challenge worth up to five points; the second is worth up to ten points and the third is worth up to 20. For a maximum total of 35 points for each team.
The team with the most points at the end of three rounds will go to the prize-filled house to play a bonus round for $5,000 and those prizes. But in order to win any of those prizes, they simply have be as quiet as they can.
Run of the House[]
The winning team has three minutes (3:00) to go through the house. The house has five rooms with some noisy obstacles. Each one has a prize attached, with the last one being a mystery. Hidden within those rooms are two pieces of a picture puzzle of the show's logo. Their jobs is to find those pieces without making too much noise. Doing so won the prize attached to the room. In any room if at anytime the winning team makes too much noise, the room & prizes are both forfeited. Either way, the team moves on to the next room. They can pass on a room and come back to it at anytime if there's time left on the clock. If the winning team can get pass all five rooms without making any of the loudest sounds and before time runs out, they win $5,000 and all five prizes. Regardless of the outcome, the winning team will keep any prizes won in that round.
