This is a audio noise generator that can make:-

  WHITE NOISE that has constant energy per Hz.

  PINK NOISE  that has constant energy per octave, with a series of CRs to give
              a 3dB per octave filtered white noise.
  RED NOISE   that has reducing noise per octave, with a single CR for 6dB per
              octave filtering of the white noise.

With constant Q filters in an AF spectrum analyser display the pink noise
gives a flat response.

With Magnetic systems like tape, magnetic cutting heads, etc. Red noise will
produce a flat spectrum, with constant bandwidth analyser.

SOUND COLOURATION
With good hearing it is possible to judge AF response of system especially
when comparing using just these noises.

The White noise lets you predominately hear the top end, as the ear is like a
constant Q analyser. The Pink noise lets you judge the whole range, while the
Red noise lets you more easily concentrate on the bass resonances.

Used with a good graphic equaliser, mainly of the system colourations
(LS + room etc.) can be mostly ironed out.
