Electrostatic noise at/near the solar wind plasma frequency is detected in the Earth's electron foreshock by the WHISPER relaxation sounder aboard the four CLUSTER spacecraft. The noise is observed when the interplanetary magnetic field line that passes through the spacecraft position connects to the shock surface. As expected, the noise intensity is largest along the magnetic field line that is tangent to the shock and the noise characteristics depend upon the position in the electron foreshock. Close to the tangent field line a narrow bandwidth noise occurs while far downstream of this boundary the noise spectrum appears to be broadened and may extend a little bit above and well below the solar wind plasma frequency. The WHISPER observations, the position of the spacecraft in the connection plane, and preliminary statistic maps are presented.
