Parametric amplification have led to extraordinary photo-induced phenomena in recent pump-probe experiments. While these phenomena manifest themselves in out-of-equilibrium settings, in this work, we present the striking result of parametric amplification in equilibrium. We demonstrate that quantum and thermal noise of a Raman-active mode amplifies light inside a cavity when the Raman mode frequency is twice the cavity frequency. This noise-driven amplification leads to the creation of an unusual parametric Raman polariton with smoking gun signatures in Raman spectroscopy. We show distinctive properties of this polariton, including localization and static shift of the Raman mode, together with an increase of quantum light fluctuations within the cavity. Our study suggests a resonant mechanism for controlling Raman modes and thus matter properties by cavity fluctuations. We conclude by outlining how to compute the Raman-cavity coupling, and suggest possible experimental realizations.
