PINK NOISE was born from a clear idea that the founders had regarding the starting up of a structure capable of gathering together all services that are required in a multimedia production, thus providing a global and specific solution to the needs of its clients. Our company offers the coordination and services of a group of professionals that provide solutions to the increasingly demanding market needs.
Our goal is to come closer to the idea of a high-performance center, where work systems are optimized day after day. Repercussions obtained from this idea reside in a clear saving of time and cost for our clients.

INDIVIDUALIZED PROJECT MANAGEMENTWith regard to video games, a great number of files with very tight deadlines are involved, because the localization process takes place at the same time as the game is being developed. Therefore, each project is assigned a Project Manager who is in charge of managing the entire localization process from start to finish and of updating the client on the development of the working process.
INHOUSE QUALITY ASSURANCE Our motto is that your success is our success and that’s why we give extreme importance to the final product quality. All projects undergo thorough analysis by our Quality Assurance Department, a team of experienced translators, linguists and engineers who work with comprehensive templates and guarantee the linguistic and technical accuracy of the final product.

PRIMAL
“…a big round of applause goes to SONY for the perfect localization achieved with the Spanish dubbing. The interpretation is very good, similar to other games such as The Getaway, with typical Spanish expressions giving the main character more personality. The cast of actors is extensive as there are a great number of NPCs who appear in the adventure and each and every one of them has their own distinctive voice. Impressive, a model to follow for the rest of the titles.” www.meristation.com
JAK AND DAXTER: THE PRECURSOR LEGACY
“The first thing that will astonish you: the Spanish dubbing. Only one thing can be said on the matter, it’s fantastic. We have the best dubbing ever seen on a video game. […] It’s simply impressive and gives you the feeling that you are really watching a film. Daxter’s dubbing actor deserves a special mention, he’s fantastic. Having to do the voice of a comic character and not sounding ridiculous is a very hard job, but we can assure you that it’s absolutely marvelous and will have you in fits of laughter with Daxter’s comments. Even better than the original English dubbing.” www.meristation.comPr

THE GETAWAY
“An excellent Spanish translation and a top quality dubbing is appreciated in The Getaway, turning it into a model to follow so that in the future there are less English or mediocre voice games.” El Pais
PRINCE OF PERSIA
“The game has totally been adapted with texts, voices and manual in Spanish. In the dubbing an excellent job has been done with the dialogues, along the same lines of other great videogames super productions. All this work has been produced by PINK NOISE, the company who is in the process of becoming the best dubbing business in the country and who are also responsible for the localization of Jak II, The Getaway or Primal.” www.meristation.com
