Question:
What is psuedogaussian noise? I have heard that it is
anotherb term for "white" noise.
Replies:
White noise (in the context of sound) is the presence of sound waves of
equal intensity for all frequencies (usually in the audible range from about
15 to 20,000 hertz). I assume that "psuedogaussian" noise is the presence of
sound waves whose intensity centers about an average frequency and decreases
in intensity in a gaussian distribution. That is: ~ exp(-(nu-nu avg.))^2
where nu is the frequency and nu avg. is the average frequency.
