Question: What is the middle name of the author of the 1985 novel "White Noise"?

Context paragraphs:
White Noise: The Light: White Noise: The Light, also marketed as White Noise 2, is a 2007 supernatural horror thriller film, directed by Patrick Lussier and written by Matt Venne.  The sequel stars Nathan Fillion and Katee Sackhoff in the lead roles.  It is a stand-alone sequel to the 2005 film "White Noise", directed by Geoffrey Sax.  The film received positive reviews, but was not commercially successful, and failed to recoup its $10 million budget.

Avengers (EP): Avengers is the second EP from rock band The Avengers.  Released by White Noise Records in 1979 after the split up of the band, it was produced by musician Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols.  It is also known as the "White Noise EP", a reference to the record label.  The "1983 album of the same name" features identical versions of "White Nigger" and "Corpus Christi", while there are different versions of the other two tracks.

Tinnitus masker: Tinnitus maskers are a range of devices based on simple white noise machines which are used to add natural or artificial sound into a tinnitus sufferer's environment in order to mask or cover up the ringing.  The noise is supplied by a sound generator which may reside in or above the ear or be placed on a table or elsewhere in the environment.  The noise is usually white noise or music, but in some cases it may be patterned sound or specially tailored sound based on the characteristics of the person's tinnitus.

Don DeLillo: Donald Richard "Don" DeLillo (born November 20, 1936) is an American novelist, playwright and essayist.  His works have covered subjects as diverse as television, nuclear war, sports, the complexities of language, performance art, the Cold War, mathematics, the advent of the digital age, politics, economics, and global terrorism.

Brownian noise: In science, Brownian noise (   ), also known as Brown noise or red noise, is the kind of signal noise produced by Brownian motion, hence its alternative name of random walk noise.  The term "Brown noise" comes not from the color, but after Robert Brown, the discoverer of Brownian motion.  The term "red noise" comes from the "white noise"/"white light" analogy; red noise is strong in longer wavelengths, similar to the red end of the visible spectrum.

Stochastic resonance: Stochastic resonance (SR) is a phenomenon where a signal that is normally too weak to be detected by a sensor, can be boosted by adding white noise to the signal, which contains a wide spectrum of frequencies.  The frequencies in the white noise corresponding to the original signal's frequencies will resonate with each other, amplifying the original signal while not amplifying the rest of the white noise (thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio which makes the original signal more prominent).  Further, the added white noise can be enough to be detectable by the sensor, which can then filter it out to effectively detect the original, previously undetectable signal.

White Noise (The Living End song): "White Noise" is the first single from The Living End's fifth studio album, "White Noise".  Released on 5 July 2008, after the "White Noise" track was the most added song on Australian radio in the weeks previous, it went on to top the Australian Airplay Chart.  The single was also released exclusively on iTunes and Nokia Music, with respective bonus B-Sides.

White Noise (novel): White Noise is the eighth novel by Don DeLillo, published by Viking Press in 1985.  It won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction.

White noise machine: A white noise machine is a device that produces a sound that is random in character, which sounds like a rushing waterfall or wind blowing through trees.  Often such devices do not produce actual white noise, which has a harsh sound, but pink noise, whose power rolls off at higher frequencies, or other colors of noise.

White Noise (film): White Noise is a 2005 supernatural horror thriller film, directed by Geoffrey Sax.  The title refers to electronic voice phenomena (EVP), where voices, which some believe to be from the "other side", can be heard on audio recordings.  The film is not related to the postmodern novel "White Noise" by Don DeLillo.
