It is the band's the first album with former Armored Saint vocalist John Bush, and also their last studio album with guitarist Dan Spitz.
The band and Dave Jerden produced the album, which includes the singles, "Only" ,"Black Lodge", "Room for One More" and "Hy Pro Glo". This album marked a change in the sound of the band, mixing the old thrash metal with new grunge references (Dave Jerden was the producer of Alice in Chains) and the album got Anthrax's highest ever chart position, debuting at #7 on the Billboard 200 charts, with "Only" and "Room For One More" in particular becoming major rock radio hits at their time. Sound of White Noise was certified gold by the RIAA.
Anthrax also contributed a song from these sessions called "Poison My Eyes" 7:05 to the Last Action Hero soundtrack.
The title "C11H17N2O2S Na" is the chemical formula for sodium pentathol.
The closing of the album, which appears at the end of the song "This Is Not an Exit" includes a sample from the 1991 movie "My Girl".
A music video was produced for "Black Lodge", which features Jenna Elfman as the lead role in one of her first film appearances. The Black Lodge is a fictional place from the television series Twin Peaks, which Twin Peaks's score conductor Angelo Badalamenti helped write.
This was released on LP in Europe (Catalog Number 7559-61430-1). The song "Black Lodge" was omitted from this vinyl release due to time.
The band gave an interview in Metal Edge Magazine before release about the influence of Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho" novel in making this album. The ending track "This Is Not an Exit" is directly from the novel.

Anthrax Lyrics
1000 Points Of Hate hate you and you hate me I cannot not look at…
Black Lodge Worship the ground you barely walk on You give of yourself…
Burst How much does an opinion weigh Does it really matter…
C₁₁ H₁₇ N₂ O₂ S Na If one day you'd backed up a promise you made We'd…
Hy Pro Glo I Who. What. Where. When. Why. How many ways can you lie How…
Invisible I'm wiping the slate spotless I vow this is your final…
Only Everything is perfect Everything is sick, that's it You can'…
Packaged Rebellion In and out Try to be What you see Anarchy…
Potters Field I was told to love you I was told to try I…
Room For One More Fix the mental, as if that changes anything Your heart is…
This Is Not An Exit I know I'll never be free Change doesn't come easy And if…
Evillive
on Now its dark
Jesus… you need your art spoon-fed to you.
Now It’s Dark is about the movie Blue Velvet.
