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.

Schneesturm (snow storm) or Ameisenkrieg (ant war) in German.
We always called it Ameisenfußball (ant soccer).
Had the exact same two in my childhood and youth in Finland. Probably some nuance differences in language, but semantically very similar ones! Muurahaissota and lumisade 🕺
for me it was Ameisenrennen (ant race)
