In music and acoustics, the term white noise may be used for any signal that has a similar hissing sound. In the context of phylogenetically based statistical methods, the term white noise can refer to a lack of phylogenetic pattern in comparative data. [5] In nontechnical contexts, it is sometimes used to mean "random talk without meaningful ...

It is also known as differentiated white noise, due to its being the result of the differentiation of a white noise signal. Due to the diminished sensitivity of the human ear to high-frequency hiss and the ease with which white noise can be electronically differentiated (high-pass filtered at first order), many early adaptations of dither to ...
Sound masking is the inclusion of generated sound (commonly, though inaccurately, referred to as "white noise" or "pink noise") into an environment to mask unwanted sound. It relies on auditory masking. Sound masking is not a form of active noise control (noise cancellation technique); however, it can reduce or eliminate the perception of sound ...
The device is described as a combination white noise generator and AM radio receiver modified to sweep back and forth through the AM band selecting split-second snippets of sound. Critics of the device say its effect is subjective and incapable of being replicated, and since it relies on radio noise, any meaningful response a user gets is ...

The grey noise definition contradicts the notion of white noise being perceived as white. Furthermore, its energy distribution should, according to how it is defined here, be a function of the absolute sound pressure level.
A white noise machine is a device that produces a noise that calms the listener [citation needed], which in many cases sounds like a rushing waterfall or wind blowing through trees, and other serene or nature-like sounds. Often such devices do not produce actual white noise, which has a harsh sound, but pink noise, whose power rolls off at ...
