The film zeroes in on Karan (Rahul Bose), newly arrived in Mumbai, who joins Mickey Malhotras' studio 'Lighthouse', as a film editor. Just prior to that, he has had a chance encounter with a colleague Gauri (Koël Purie) whose good looks, personality and inner complexities fascinate him. Gauri takes refuge in work and drink, as she is hurting from the abrupt end to a long relationship with her former boss, Pawan (Aryan Vaid), who is married and playing the field. Head honcho Malhotra (Jatin Siyal) has hired her considerable scripting talent hoping that she will resurrect one of his fading on-going television series. Karan reaches out to the pained Gauri. White Noise, set in suburban Mumbai, is a modern comment on love, marriage, family and Mumbai itself- the city of dreams, where expression and talent are often replaced by ego and judgment.
