Noise from the Basement is the debut album by Canadian singer-songwriter Skye Sweetnam, released on September 21, 2004 by Capitol Records. It debuted and peaked at number 124 on the Billboard 200 and number 15 on the Oricon Album Charts.

Originally planned for a late 2003 release, the release of Sweetnam's debut album was postponed several times by the record label, being pushed back to April, then May and finally August of the following year before its official release in September of that year.

Noise From The Basement was subject to many comparisons among critics with Avril Lavigne due to their similarities – same nationality and resembling attitude although Skye has described herself as being more "girly-girl" than she and mentioned that after hearing both albums, she could not find any real similarities between their sound, describing her album as "Avril lite," "bubblegum Britney" and "manufactured skate punk".

Three songs from "Noise from the Basement" were released as singles. "Billy S." was released as the lead single, followed by "Tangled Up In Me" and "Number One". "Superstar" was released as a standalone track on iTunes.

Prior to the release of her debut album, Sweetnam toured in summer camps in the American Camplified Tour, from July to August 2003. In September, she performed in some venues in Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. She was also the opening act for Britney Spears' Onyx Hotel Tour and performed in the United States, Canada and Europe in the Spring of 2004. About that experience, she said:

"I love catching people off guard. That's why opening for Britney was so great. I was playing for people who had no idea who I was and had never heard my music. And by the end of the set, a lot of them found themselves really getting into it."
