For the identification of non-classical (squeezed) magnon states, quantitative knowledge about thermal or vacuum fluctuations of the magnetization is essential. We show that thermal magnetization fluctuations of a ferromagnetic thin film can be sensitively characterized using inductive magnon noise spectroscopy (iMNS). Our broadband approach based on a coplanar waveguide and a commercial spectrum analyzer allows to detect the microwave emission of the equilibrium magnetization fluctuations relative to a cold microwave background. Modeling the response of the whole microwave system and comparing it quantitatively with low-power broadband ferromagnetic resonance measurements in linear response yields excellent agreement, which verifies the equilibrium character of the iMNS. Thus, our work establishes a purely inductive broadband access to the equilibrium properties of magnetization fluctuations.
