In your area/country, did you have a word or phrase to describe the static white noise on a television set not tuned to a channel?

Bonus points if there's a known onomatopoeia to describe the sound.

just "static" in the states in the 1990s. I swear to god, sometimes I could see something in it. Could have been psychosomatic.
Sometimes there was channel interference or something for sure. I know this because sometimes I would stay up late at night to try to see boobies. I don't remember the reason or channel or anything, maybe it was on an adult channel and it mostly wouldn't come through because it wasn't being paid for? Back when you othersise had to find boobies in the woods on paper, or had a friend with a single father who worked a lot.
The world was a lot more simple back then. I can't imagine the stress of being a kid today.
