X-ray observations of the Z source GX 340 + 0 with the Ginga Observatory have found the source in three spectral states: the flaring branch (FB), the normal branch (NB) and the horizontal branch (HB). In accordance with previous observations, quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) with frequencies 32-50 Hz were observed in the HB and near 6 Hz in a portion of the NB. In the HB the power spectra also showed low-frequency noise (LFN). The fractional rms variation of both types of QPO and of the LFN were strongly dependent on the X-ray energy band. Rough values for all three were about 2 percent at about 3 keV and about 8 percent at about 12 keV.
