	White Noise
		Electronically synthesized white noise can be filtered so as to produce combinations of frequencies not obtainable on traditional musical instruments; or the white noise itself may be used as an element of music.
		White noise is aperiodic sound (that is, its wave pattern is not uniform).
		In the audible spectrum, white noise is a hiss or a roar, such as that produced when a television set is tuned to a channel over which no station is broadcasting.

	White Noise: Interesting Thing of the Day
		By analogy, “white” noise is composed of sounds of every frequency within the range of human hearing—roughly 20 to 20,000Hz (cycles per second)—with each part of the frequency spectrum equal in amplitude (volume).
		If “white” noise includes sound at every frequency, you might imagine it would be possible to create other “colors” of noise by emphasizing certain ranges of frequencies over others.
		Whereas white noise has equal energy at every frequency, pink noise has equal energy within each octave—in other words, the amplitude at higher frequencies is reduced to make it sound more balanced to the human ear.

		The installation of "White Noise/White Light" at MIT was funded in part by the Council for the Arts at MIT.
		The volume of white noise and the intensity of white light are controlled by a custom microprocessor designed by electronics engineer Matthew Reynolds (MIT SB '98, M.Eng '99, PhD '03).
		The white noise made for the project is based on a physical phenomenon called Johnson noise, where noise arises from the thermal motions of electrons in a resistor carrying current in an electronic circuit.

	DSP Generation of Pink Noise
		The "white" refers to the even distribution of wavelengths in white light, with a particular meaning in the audio or DSP sense: that the power of the noise is distributed evenly over all frequencies, between 0 and some maximum frequency which is typically half the sampling rate.
		White noise has the same distribution of power for all frequencies, so there is the same amount of power between 0 and 500 Hz, 500 and 1,000 Hz or 20,000 and 20,500 Hz.
		The most obvious use of pink noise is as an audio signal, to be used directly, to be filtered or to be used to modulate something.
