very good. pink noise is the model of music assumed to build commercial loudspeakers as far as picking power wattage for the various drivers, such as tweeters, midranges and woofers so as to make it economical and not overengineer the product thus making it too expensive for competition.

In Audio University there is always something new to learn, even about thing one can already know. Maybe it would be worth mentioning that with a continuous spectrum analyzer white noise will show a flat graph and pink will show a graph with a (negative) slope (as shown), but with a 1/3 octave spectrum analyzer pink noise will show a flat bar graph.

I’m not a sound engineer, but I am a normal person who finds all about sounds very very interesting. I love your channel, it is so exciting to learn more about sounds even though there are a lot of things I don’t understand what it means. 🙈 I often see videos on KZbin with white noise, pink noise, brown noise, blue noise etc. for people to fall asleep on it. I cannot understand how people can sleep on that noises, but that’s another story… 🙈 My question is: how does someone actually create/generate this kind of noises?? 🤔

There’s a section on that toward the end of this video. It’s either resistor noise or randomly generated by a computer.

I had a question about this topic. when use a stock synthesizer in FL Studio to generate white noise, when I check my EQ, I don't see an even spread. I see a downwards trend, as if it were pink noise. I checked even on Span, with the same results. I thought it may be my synth, so I downloaded a few white noise samples from various sources and they all read the same. why might this be? how do I view a spectrum that displays it with equal energy across the spectrum?
@AudioUniversity6 ай бұрын
It's possible that the graph is logarithmic. So, pink noise would probably look flat on that graph. White noise looks flat on a linear scale.

@AudioUniversity - do you have a video on how to measure the frequency of a sound source? Like a musical instrument to ensure it's tuned perfectly to the Hz it needs to be? I'm building a small scale anechoic chamber just for the purpose of measuring primary frequency of different instruments but despite tons of research, the answer is still unclear to me on how to do this correctly and as accurately as possible. Can you point me to any resources you might know of please?!

I just use a tuner. The specific Hertz value will likely vary over the course of a given note.
@ES60Hz6 ай бұрын
One question in mind, which I think you are the guy to ask, why do the frequencies move in the analyzer? Is there any way to create a static white noise? Because it seems that it is not accurately flat when it moves.
@marcuspainter68615 ай бұрын
That is because white noise consists of random frequencies, not all frequencies at the same time. If you imagine flipping a coin, in theory they will be an equal number of heads and tails. But only after an infinite number of flips. So on average, white noise contains or will contain all frequencies equally. That is why audio analysers usually have an averaging function that will smooth out the response over time. Sine sweeps will give a flat response but not in real time.

I think it goes beyond human perception. What is one oscillation over one arbitrary period of time one second? It has no meaning at all. The meaning of an octave is beyond just human perception. Real question is what value does white noise have at all?
