contents The choice of initial noise strongly affects quality and prompt alignment in video diffusion; different seeds for the same prompt can yield drastically different results. While recent methods use externally designed priors (e.g., frequency filtering or inter-frame smoothing), they often overlook internal model signals that indicate inherently preferable seeds. To address this, we propose ANSE (Active Noise Selection for Generation), a model-aware framework that selects high-quality seeds by quantifying attention-based uncertainty. At its core is BANSA (Bayesian Active Noise Selection via Attention), an acquisition function that measures entropy disagreement across multiple stochastic attention samples to estimate model confidence and consistency. For efficient inference-time deployment, we introduce a Bernoulli-masked approximation of BANSA that estimates scores from a single diffusion step and a subset of informative attention layers. Experiments across diverse text-to-video backbones demonstrate improved video quality and temporal coherence with marginal inference overhead, providing a principled and generalizable approach to noise selection in video diffusion.
