USA Noise is a newspaper based in Buffalo, New York. The USA Noise magazine has been founded in 1997 and was originally a weekly subscription based news magazine. From 1997 up till 2018, USA Noise was primarily owned by Gregory Heissman, who sold the publication to Jennifer Budman who turned the company into an entertainment magazine. The current owner is John Pinnedo, who purchased the publication in late 2021.

USA Noise covers entertainment and music related news topics across the United States, and has now abandoned their traditional newspaper format and transitioned into a fully digital entity.

History
Gregory Heissman, a New York based ghostwriter and author initially started the publication, USA Noise in May 1997 in an attempt to share general news topics to New York at a fraction of what other newspapers were selling for.

In July 2018, the USA Noise magazine changed ownership as it was acquired by Jennifer Budman and her publishing company, Platinum Pubs.

USA Noise was then again sold in late 2021 to John Pinnedo, the grandchild of Gregory Heissman, the original founder of the company. John Pinnedo acquired the publication along with Muhammad Rujubully, who is the current sales manager for USA Noise.

Controversy
According to Buffalo, New York residents, the new management led to a conservative shift in the paper's editorial stance. This had led to a rapid decrease in sales of the traditional USA Noise newspapers, due to which the publication had to switch to being a completely digital media outlet.
