Noise Marines, as they are known, are the dedicated Slaaneshi Chaos Space Marine foot soldiers, commonly found in the Emperor's Children Traitor Legion, but also in other Slaanesh-devoted space marine warbands such as The Flawless Host.
Their trademark is the use of devastating sonic weaponry that confuses and demoralizes enemy forces in a wild show of “deafeningly loud, psycho-sonically and pyrotechnically explosive attacks”. 1-p.39

History
The first creation of Noise Marines goes back to the days immediately preceding the Horus Heresy. After the Cleansing of Laeran introduced corruption into the heart of the 28th Expedition, noted remembrancer Bequa Kynska eventually produced a grand symphony she called the Maraviglia, at whose debut (and only) performance several Emperor's Children Space Marines were present, including Fulgrim and Marius Vairosean. This performance, inspired and entwined with Slaaneshi powers, not only caused the abrupt daemonic possession of several of the orchestra, but also spurred on the audience to engage in an orgy of both a sexual and violent nature. During the 'performance' it was noted that the musical instruments were able to produce effects variously disorientating, stimulating and downright murderous. Not long afterwards, during the battles of Isstvan V, some Emperor's Children marines took to the field armed with these weapons, becoming the first Noise Marines.2
After the Heresy, the early Noise Marines took their deviant behavior to a new level with their new patron chaos god and over the years of bloody warfare have honed their bodies into sensory extremes where nothing can stir their emotions other than the din of battle and screams of the dying.
Appearance
Noise Marines wear power armor painted in all manner of striking and bold colors. Pinks, blacks and purples being used predominantly in bizarre patterns all over the armor’s legs, arms, gauntlets, helmets and shoulder pads.
