Appearances[]
River City Girls[]
Noize debuts in River City Girls as one of the bosses which Kyōko and Misako have to face in order to save their boyfriends Kunio and Riki. She is voiced by Erika Harlacher.
Noize is first mentioned by Abobo as he explains to Misako and Kyōko that he was supposed to be working security at her upcoming concert. He informs the girls that Noize is performing in Ocean Heights and claims that all of the boys attend her shows whenever she's in town. Misako and Kyōko later attempt to board Noize's yacht, though are told by the concert's bouncer Burnov that they'll need a VIP pass in order to get inside.
Upon confronting Noize, she is confused by Misako and Kyōko's presence on the stage and calls for security mistaking them for crazy fans. Misako taunts Noize and asks if she's unable to deal with them herself, though Noize takes insult to Misako's comments and asks if she's calling her weak. Noize then annoyingly assures that she didn't steal their boyfriends, though snarkily states she wouldn't be surprised if they ditched them to go to her show instead. Misako threatens to attack Noize, though she taunts Misako further and calls her a "dinglebutt". Recognizing the word, Kyōko recognizes Noize as her old middle school friend Nozomi and points it out which immediately catches Noize off-guard. Kyōko begins to explain how she remembered Noize transferring to her school in fifth grade and how she used to sit alone at lunch until Kyōko decided to befriend her. Noize points out the fact that Kyōko left her life a month after meeting her, though Kyōko states that she was expelled from the school for stealing basketball hoops. Feeling embarrassed in-front of her audience, Noize begins to fight Misako and Kyōko.
Upon being defeated, Noize reassures that she has no idea where Kunio and Riki currently are and points the girls toward the Sanwakai Tower. She explains that if they weren't at her concert, there's a likely chance that they were kidnapped and brought over there. When asked by Misako how she knows all about the Sanwakai, Noize mentions that Sabu paid for her first album and that it's a fact she isn't proud of. The girls then say goodbye before Noize continues her concert.
River City Girls 2[]
Noize is voiced by Anairis Quinones in English and remains uncredited in the Japanese dub.
Noize first appears outside of her tour bus in Downtown while Ocean Heights is blocked off from the player. Upon being talked to, Noize will greet the protagonists and explain that she's back in River City for another tour because of her previous one being interrupted by Misako and Kyōko. To explain why the area is blocked off in gameplay, Noize explains that a dark magic barrier is blocking her crew from seeing through the tunnel, so they're unable to drive through as they still value road safety and don't wish to drive recklessly.
Upon finding half of the secret rooms, Noize will appear inside of Technos' recreation room and will able to be recruited as an assist. When summoned, she will heal all players in range for a large amount of health.
