Jogja Noise Bombing (JNB) is a noise and experimental music-based community based in the city of Yogyakarta. JNB was first formed in 2012 based on the desire of several sound artists to amplify this type of music through a method called Noise Bombing. Noise Bombing tests the accessibility or possibility of acceptance of sounds with a tendency to disturb (noise or noisy) in public spaces. This method is also used as a responsive intervention tool to the homogeneity of noise that exists in public spaces.

The 2025 edition will feature street noise bombing, noise concerts with spatial sound and visuals, as well as discourse events.
