This paper addresses the problem of identifiability of dynamical networks in the case where the vector of noises on the nodes does not have full rank. In the full-rank noise case, network identifiability is defined as the capability of uniquely identifying the transfer function matrices describing the network from informative data. This includes the noise model, which can be uniquely defined when the noise vector has full rank. When the noise vector has a singular spectrum, it admits an infinite number of different noise models and the definition of network identifiability must be adapted to demand that the correct noise spectrum be identified from informative data rather than a specific noise model. With this new definition, we show that a network with rank reduced noise is identifiable under the same conditions that apply to a network with full-rank noise.
