It is shown that electron-electron interactions lead to a novel quantum-interference contribution to non-equilibrium current noise in mesoscopic conductors. The corresponding noise spectrum is obtained in detail for diffusive systems. It is found to be quadratic in the applied voltage and to exhibit a power-law frequency spectrum whose exponent depends on the dimensionality of the sample.
