What's the story?
Hosted by Battlebots' Faruk Tauheed, THE NOISE is a simple game show that features teams of two kid contestants working both against the clock and a noise meter to do usually noisy tasks as quietly as possible. These include things like pulling oneself over a tub filled with ping pong balls, carrying wind chimes across the stage, or placing a Slinky over the top of a glass bottle. The "Noise-O-Meter" keeps track of the sound levels, and the quieter the kids are, the more points they receive.
Is it any good?
It's fun to watch the kid teams work together to make the least amount of noise -- they take it very seriously and it's a premise that hasn't really been used on any other game show. There's a good amount of tension, making the show suspenseful, but not too much that younger kids can't handle it. The Noise is a simple idea, but it's a lot of fun and kid viewers will see how focus and teamwork can bring about success.
