It tells the story of a group of [[Musician|musicians]] who illegally perform music on objects in the various institutions of a city. The film is a follow-up to ''Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers'', the 2001 short film made by the same directors with the same basic concept.

Eric Kohn of ''[[IndieWire]]'' called ''Sound of Noise'' "[[Bonnie and Clyde (film)|''Bonnie and Clyde'']] on drums", writing, "Loaded with ingeniously devised beats, it hammers out a unique rhythm deserved of many repeat performances," and "directors Ola Simonsson and Johannes Stjärne make the surrealist musical set pieces into the real stars". He also praised the film's "wildly original soundtrack".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Kohn|first=Eric|date=2010-05-20|title=CANNES REVIEW {{!}} Bonnie and Clyde on Drums: The Swedish Musical Comedy
David DeWitt from ''[[The New York Times]]'' compared the film to the similarly percussive theatrical show [[Stomp (theatrical show)|Stomp]], and called it "a character study mixed with outlandish crime procedural. Everyone’s quite serious about the joke, without a moment of [[Adam Sandler]]-style “look at how cute we are” that would only dilute the film’s appeal. ''Sound of Noise'' is a dry treat — a solid, self-aware cult pleasure".<ref>{{Cite news|last=DeWitt|first=David|date=2012-03-08|title=Anarchist Percussionists and a Belly as an Instrument|language=en-US|work=[[The New York Times]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/09/movies/sound-of-noise-from-sweden.html|url-status=live|access-date=2020-10-09|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>
