<<what's the difference between white and
pink-noise?>>

White noise has equal energy at all possible frequencies throughout
the audible spectrum. Inter-station radio or television static is a
good example. Pink noise has equal energy per octave throughout the
audible spectrum. Pink noise is approximated by running white noise
through a 3db/octave low pass filter. It is the aural equivalent of a
photographer's gray scale card.
