Abstract: We study the burst distribution in the fiber bundle model and the fuse model when noise is added to the thresholds, i.e., when the threshold values vary around a fixed value as the breakdown proceeds. The burst distribution follows a power law in the noisy system, but with the exponent τ changed compared to the standard models without noise. The value of τ changes near failure in the noisy models as in the models without noise, hence signaling imminent breakdown.
