Abstract
The radiation of solar noise storms (NS) traverses the same regions of the outer corona which are responsible for the scintillation of remote radio sources when eclipsed by the Sun. It is shown that the observed intensity distribution of NS (as a function of time) is compatible with the distribution of scattered signal. Therefore, there is an alternative explanation of the `burst' component of NS due to coronal scattering, without assuming an impulsive source.
