  Brownian noise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is named not for a color, but in honor of Robert Brown, the discoverer of Brownian motion.
Brown noise can be produced by integrating white noise.
That is, whereas (digital) white noise can be produced by randomly choosing each sample independently, brown noise can be produced by adding a random offset to each sample to obtain the next one.

 Brown note - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The brown note, according to an urban legend, is an infrasonic frequency that causes humans to lose control of their bowels due to resonance.
The note was tested on the television show MythBusters using Meyer Sound subwoofers on par in quantity and quality with those used at major rock concerts.
It should be noted, however, that no television speakers and very few subwoofers are able to accurately generate sound at this frequency at a significant volume (not to mention the cassette-tape boombox used to generate the note for the test subject).

 Jacket 23 - Brian Henry reviews "Dear Deliria: New and Selected Poems", by Pam Brown
Brown also shares Forbes’s willingness to confront — consider, incorporate, or deride — literary and cultural theory as well as his fondness of the second-person pronoun.
Though Brown reads and responds to Language Poetry, she does not necessarily want to accept all, or even some, of the tenets proposed or enacted by the Language Poets she reads. [Note 4] Nor should we expect her to. [Note 5] Dear Deliria demonstrates the work of a community-minded poet with an individual’s concerns and limitations.
[Note 7]   The poems from the 1970s — her first decade of writing — were generally less than half a page long.
