Radio noise storms are radiated by suprathermal electrons accelerated continuously over time scales of hours to days in the vicinity of active regions. Such long-duration electron acceleration may be related to emerging magnetic loops interacting with overlying loops leading to magnetic reconfiguration in the corona. A close spatial and temporal relationship is also sometimes observed between noise storm onsets or enhancements and white light transient activity. For a few cases, noise storm enhancements were found to be associated with flare like sudden energy release in the active region, either as a fully developed flare or, more often as a microwave or soft X-ray brightening without Halpha signature. A few cases have also been reported in which 10-30 keV X-rays from a superhot flaring plasma or from non-thermal electrons have been observed at the onset of the noise storm confirming that a flare-like signature in the low corona could be a necessary condition for noise storms to start. Most of these results were however obtained with no spatial resolution at X-ray wavelengths allowing us to confirm that the flare-like signature was indeed related to the radio noise storm onset. We shall present here some results of a search of X-ray counterparts (observed by RHESSI) at the onset or enhancements of a few radio noise storms observed with the Nançay Radioheliograph. We shall investigate whether X-ray flare-like signatures are seen in close temporal and spatial association with the appearance of the noise storm and briefly discuss the thermal or non thermal nature of the emission as well as its energy content.
