white noiseA random signal of every frequency in the audio spectrum, all of which have an average uniform power level. White noise is generated for a variety of purposes, including masking sounds in a room, testing loudspeakers for distortion and coloration and to provide input to a synthesizer, which uses filters to derive all of its sounds. Contrast with pink noise and Gaussian noise. white noise a. sound or electrical noise that has a relatively wide continuous range of frequencies of uniform intensity b. noise containing all frequencies rising in level by six decibels every octave How to thank TFD for its existence?
