SPYAIR posted the following comment on the anime's official website : This track was created by layering lyrics aligned with the anime's worldview—centered on the theme of "crime and punishment"—over a driving beat that enhances battle scenes and a weighty soundscape that resonates with the emotions of those burdened by guilt. Though heavy and serious, this song has become a track uniquely ours that can give listeners a push forward. The title embodies the meaning of cutting through the surrounding “noise” and the “doubts” that arise within oneself. Expect “Kill the Noise” to be even cooler when paired with high-quality visuals!
