This is Noah Baumbach's first time writing and directing a book-to-screen adaptation, and only his second adaptation after co-writing the screenplay for Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009).
Jack Gladney's alarm clock radio is a Panasonic. "Panasonic" was Don DeLillo's original title for the novel "White Noise"; it was abandoned because of the trademark owned by the electronics brand. The closing credits song "new body rhumba" by LCD Soundsystem also features a section where band member Nancy Whang repeatedly chants "Panasonic" in the background.
Lol Crawley stepped in as director of photography after Noah Baumbach fired the original DoP Michael Seresin.
The movie is set in 1983. Driver's character, Jack, states he has been to 16 "first days", the first being in 1968.
White Noise was filmed in Wellington, Ohio and released on December 30, 2022. Just over a month later, on February 3, 2023 there was a major train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, only 117 miles from where White Noise was filmed. The derailed train was carrying thousands of gallons of vinyl chloride, a toxic chemical used in the production of PVC, which required the entire town's population of 5,000 to be evacuated while the chemical was cleaned up. Vinyl chloride exposure can cause dizziness, lethargy and headaches and causes an increased risk of heart and lung disease and cancer. Two weeks after the crash residents were allowed to return to their home after levels of vinyl chloride returned to safe levels, however a number of them began reporting symptoms like rashes, coughing and difficulty breathing. The CDC and NIH are setting up a clinic in the town to investigate the reported symptoms, theories about the causes with no chemicals being detected range from psychosomatic due to fear and hysteria (mass panic) to the fact that vinyl chloride can break down into hydrogen chloride and phosgene, both of which are used as chemical weapons and can cause the type of symptoms being reported, but as of February 20th tests for these chemicals have also come up negative.
"Jack: But out of some persistent sense of large-scale ruin, we keep inventing hope."
"[first lines] Murray: [showing his class a variety of Hollywood crashes] Okay, roll film. Don't think of a car crash in a movie as a violent act. No, these collisions are part of a long tradition of American optimism. A reaffirmation of traditional values and beliefs. A celebration. Murray: Think of these crashes like you would Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July. On these days, we don't mourn the dead or rejoice in miracles. No, these are days of secular optimism. Of self-celebration. Murray: Each crash is meant to be better than the last. There's a constant upgrading of tools, skills, a meeting of challenges. An American film director says, "I want this flatbed truck to do a double mid-air somersault that produces an orange ball of fire in a 36-foot diameter." The movie breaks away from complicated human passions to show us something elemental, something loud and fiery and head-on. Murray: Watch any car crash in any American movie. It is a high-spirited moment, like old-fashioned stunt flying, or walking on wings. The people who stage these crashes are able to capture a light-heartedness, a carefree enjoyment that car crashes in foreign movies can never approach. Murray: You might say, "But what about all the blood and glass? The screeching rubber, the crushed bodies, the severed limbs? What kind of optimism is this?" Look past the violence I say. There is a wonderful brimming spirit of innocence and fun."
