How We Built This Guide
Documented artist rigs
Every count starts with the sourced, evidence-backed gear of 1,653 Noise rock artists on Equipboard — interviews, photos, and rig breakdowns, not guesswork.
Community signal
Saves and gear-photo tags from players who love this genre add weight, so the lists reflect who actually plays this stuff.
Distinctive, not just popular
