Noise’s Recent Funding and Growth
In December 2023, Noise secured $10 million in funding from Bose Corporation, a US-based audio equipment giant. This investment valued the company at approximately $420 million. Founded in 2014, Noise has established itself as a prominent player in the wearables market.
