  1. pink noisenoun

    A signal or process with a frequency spectrum such that the spectral energy density is proportional to the reciprocal of the frequency.

Wikipedia

  1. Pink noise

    Pink noise or 1⁄f noise is a signal or process with a frequency spectrum such that the power spectral density (power per frequency interval) is inversely proportional to the frequency of the signal. In pink noise, each octave interval (halving or doubling in frequency) carries an equal amount of noise energy. Pink noise sounds like a waterfall. It is often used to tune loudspeaker systems in professional audio. Pink noise is one of the most commonly observed signals in biological systems.The name arises from the pink appearance of visible light with this power spectrum. This is in contrast with white noise which has equal intensity per frequency interval.

  1. Pink noise

    Pink noise or ¹⁄f noise is a signal or process with a frequency spectrum such that the power spectral density is inversely proportional to the frequency. In pink noise, each octave carries an equal amount of noise power. The name arises from the pink appearance of visible light with this power spectrum. Within the scientific literature the term ¹⁄f noise is sometimes used a little more loosely to refer to any noise with a power spectral density of the form where f is frequency and 0 < α < 2, with exponent α usually close to 1. These ¹⁄f -like noises occur widely in nature and are a source of considerable interest in many fields. The distinction between the noises with α near 1 and those with a broad range of α approximately corresponds to a much more basic distinction. The former generally come from condensed matter systems in quasi-equilibrium, as discussed below. The latter generally correspond to wide range of non-equilibrium driven dynamical systems. The term flicker noise is sometimes used to refer to ¹⁄f noise, although this is more properly applied only to its occurrence in electronic devices due to a direct current. Mandelbrot and Van Ness proposed the name fractional noise to emphasize that the exponent of the spectrum could take non-integer values and be closely related to fractional Brownian motion, but the term is very rarely used.
