white noise
- /ˌwaɪt ˈnɔɪz/
noun
- A random signal (or process) with a flat power spectral density; a signal with a power spectral density that has equal power in any band, at any centre frequency, having a given bandwidth. Conventional statistical analyses presuppose that intrinsic variability is white noise. White noise yields a jagged and irregular line with a fractal dimension of 1.5, because successive observations are statistically independent of each other.
- Any nondescript noise used for background or to mask or drown out other noise.
- Speech that goes ignored or uncomprehended. The rest was white noise; I was sick of listening to who I was supposed to be.
