The Noisy Scrub-bird has short wings and strong legs and moves along the ground and through low shrubs. It occurs on the mainland of southwestern Western Australia.
The upperparts are brown with barred tail feathers, and the underside is pale. In the breeding season, males have a gray band across the throat and white flanks, while females have a cream-colored throat.
It runs on the ground and hops between low shrubs while feeding on ground-dwelling arthropods. Its flights are described as short.
