Ruido Blanco (Spanish for White Noise) is a live album recorded by the Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, released in 1987 and recorded on their "Signos" Latin American tour promoting the album of the same name. This album includes a unique track, "Vita-Set", consisting of two songs bonded by their initial chords. Frontman Gustavo Cerati started to hate the song after the tour and it was never played again.

The album's title is taken from a lyric in the song "Prófugos" (off the Signos album): Tus ojos nunca mentirán / pero ese ruido blanco / es una alarma en mis oídos. ("Your eyes will never lie / but that white noise / is an alarm in my ears.")
