The apartment setting makes sound central to the suspense. Film at Lincoln Center’s program note highlights the residents’ noise disputes, Ju-young’s hearing aid and the film’s layered soundscape. That is the festival listing’s interpretation of the film’s approach, rather than a statement attributed to the director.

Is Noise a horror movie?
Yes. KoBiz classifies the 2025 South Korean film as a horror/thriller. Its disappearance mystery, threatening presence and apartment-bound sound disputes place it within both genres.
Release date, runtime and festival screenings
KoBiz lists a South Korean theatrical release date of June 25, 2025, and a runtime of 93 minutes. Film at Lincoln Center listed a 95-minute presentation for its Scary Movies XIII program in New York, running August 15–21, 2025. The listings give different runtimes; the 93-minute figure is KoBiz’s record for the South Korean release, while 95 minutes refers specifically to the Lincoln Center presentation.
KoBiz also records invitations or program selections at SITGES in 2024 (Panorama), TIFF in 2024 (Industry Selects/Market Screening), Fantasia International Film Festival in 2025 (New Flesh) and Florence Korea Film Fest in 2025 (Korean Cinema Today). These are festival-program entries, not awards.
Where can I watch Noise (2025)?
Streaming availability depends on territory and can change. A Portuguese-language Prime Video listing showed a territory-sensitive preorder or purchase presentation, which does not establish that the film is currently available there or in other countries. Check the exact title in the catalog for your country. The available listings do not establish a current streaming service for every region or confirm an authorized DVD or Blu-ray edition.
