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.

fleas
Ah, I can see that! A stormcloud full of fleas would be extra scary.
Something like that. I always heard it from my parents and grandparents that "it's with fleas" or "you can see with fleas" when that happened. I never knew what was the link between those, but it sounds funny all the time, lol.
