Not a very big store, but really cool ambience. The owner is super friendly. An added bonus is the used books in the back!

One of Louisvilles prime record stores! Brett is one of the most knowledgeable people when it comes to the local music scene, as well as having a seemingly endless list of recommendations. A must go to spot if youre passing through or just getting into vinyl!

Cant say enough good stuff about this place. Owner very friendly, vinyl is nicely curated - not a huge amount but no crud to wade through, fair prices, cool used books and little art gallery in the back. A gem.

Fantastic selection of books and music. Love the COVID precautions.

I prefer to buy used over new anytime when it comes to media and Surface Noise has been my go to for music and books since it opened. I honestly dont think Ive ever bought from a record store that I actually looked forward to going to until this place opened... its not just a store... the place feels like home. Community oriented vibe and selection is small, sure, but INCREDIBLY varied and ever changing. Doesnt hurt that the owner is the greatest conversationalist to ever walk this Earth either. Surface Noise is a warm spot in a cold World. Also... there is usually a Dog. (DARBS)

I love this store! The selection is great, the staff are knowledgeable and very helpful, and you can feel free to take your time digging through the bins.

Excellent energy in side. Required masks and gave gloves out for those flipping through records. Great music being played while in store, and we were offered the opportunity to play records on the turntable, that we might be interested in. Great selection of books, including some local Louisville archival books. Interesting art work on the walls, and an art gallery in the back of house. Owner was very open to conversation, did not feel elite, and recommended a few pieces of music and a few books. no pressure to buy anything in store. Brought a few record fiends with me from out of town and they made a purchase or two. Owner talked shop with them about where they live and music geographically with a strong love for Louisville proper. Its the kind of spot (sans covid) that yuo would want to sit in a chair and drink a cup of tea or glass of whiskey in, or both, and be part of an hour or two.

We had an issue with a record and the store handled it wonderfully.

Beautiful ambiance and selection and such a sweet store owner.

The man knows his art and his music and for any Prince fans out there, he knows his stuff. Test his knowledge.

Great selection for small vintage record shop and great prices!

Brett is a true community minded business person with a deep passion for the written word, art and music. Surface Noise has filled a tremendous gap in the community and is actively helping rebuild it. A remarkable establishment with a friendly, down to earth approachable feel.

Great little record store with usually a little something else going on in the way of art or live music. An eclectic selection of records and books as well. Lots of eye candy too. Full disclosure, the owner is an old friend. Hes also a fellow musician and a published author. You probably wont find the latest hits but you will find some very collectible vinyl.

Great store good selection good prices, cant go wrong!

Get place super cool staff. Get vinyl along with the nice book selection. Staff is great!

Sweetest record store ever. Great people! Shop local

A shop that focuses on building community, with art installations, performances, author events, and meetings. Sometimes I like the prices, sometimes i dont. But, they tend to have a deep well of...I havent seen thats.

I went to Surface Noise 2nd anniversary last night, and it was a fantastic night! Local and regional bands played, and each one had an excellent performance! The place was packed! Bretts gallery in the back of the shop is also wonderful featuring talented artwork from local artists. Please support this place! It is a Louisville gem!

Loved this little place! Brett was so personable and very helpful. Great selection and atmosphere. Also, who doesnt love a store with a friendly mascot? Derby is very chill.

Super cool record shop. Dog friendly...most humans welcome. Interesting selection of used records and books. Gallery also.

Great curated selection and Brett Eugene is super welcoming

Excellent in every way! Had a good time talking records and music with Bill. Cool art on the walls, great selection of records in the bins, and cool music playing on the turntable. We will be stopping in next time we come through town. Favorite spot of all the record shops I went to in town.

Its amazing the variety of olive that you can find at Surface Noise! They have rare, classic, pop,... Any sort of genre that you can think of. I have never purchased an album at the store and had any issues with playback. A+++

Neat local shop! They had all sorts of interesting art, records, and books.

Great owner and cool eclectic shop

Awesome local used record shop run by a deep punk rock veteran. Impeccably curated selection of vinyl and books.

Love this record store!! It was like going back to 1978!

Friendly and knowledgeable owner. Found a couple of rock platters my collection was missing. Prices mostly in line with what youll find on the internet. Collection a bit smaller than many others.

Brett was wonderful! Its quite, charming and easily accessible.

Great shop, love the live music & that they give all the donations to the musicians

Best place to purchase vintage vinyl in the city of Louisville. Also best place to sell your vinyl records in the city.

Small shop but the owner was fantastic in service and knowledge. Enjoyed the visit.

Attended an awesome poetry reading here. Cool selection of albums

Lots of original records, highly recommend

The best music store in town.

Good vibe, unusual collection of old vinyl.

Fantastic gem

Definitely my favorite store in town!

Good selection of used records

Sold my record collection for a more than fair price.

Nice and courteous people

Its okay, Selection Could Be Bigger

Seems to cater to a select niche crowd. Seemed overpriced, but Id take another chance if I was in the neighborhood.

Very friendly and helpful

Nice vibe!

So unique!
