What is TV static noise?

TV static noise, also known as "snow" or "white noise," is the random pattern of black and white pixels that appears on analog television screens when no broadcast signal is received. This phenomenon occurs because the TV displays electromagnetic interference from various sources, including cosmic background radiation, creating a chaotic visual pattern. The nostalgic effect reminds many people of late-night TV watching or vintage technology.
