Does anyone know of any program that can generate white
noise, or can someone tell me - in a understandable manner -
how to make it on my computer using only a wave-editor?

Damn! I just got a sample of some white noise.. I thought it
was just like a "dampening" sound that oyu couldn't really
hear, but it damn near blew my speakers!! You'll get the
same noise using an electric toothbrush directly on your
inner ear!

..wait.. this can't be right... It says everywhere that they
use it for masking sound, but why would anyone want to mask
sound with.. louder sound? I'm getting confused...

you aren't thinking of low-fi sinewaves are you?

I think the masking of sound that you are refering to is
known as dither. You see, when an analog signal is converted
into digital information sometimes the number of bits used
to store the signal can be reduced (sometimes to 8 or even
four bits) to minimize the amount of memory needed for this
signal. This works fine most of the time, but essentially
square waves caused from analog to digital conversion are
heard at very low levels (causing undesirable odd
harmonics). To fix this sometimes sound engineers will
introduce very low level analog noise during ADC (known as
dither).

I suddenly feel smarter. I always wondered what dithering
was.

Hmm.. i'm trying to make a sound that's all-consuming
without being audible.. in a way. Just as if everything was
quiet. Imagine a really loud and noisy song that suddenly
goes into total silence.. you can't even hear yourself
talk... I don't have any better way of explaining what I'm
after...

Points: 6846 Status: Addict



Hmmmm. I like the idea, here's what i'd do: take a really
quiet field recording of something then digitally amplify it
so you get an odd sort of hum over the actual sound of
subtle near-silence. I dunno if that's what you're after
though.

you want some lower case music zeus is probley the one to
anser this

maybe.. I've heard somewhere that electric fans and stuff
makes such noise. I know buses do sometimes.. suddenly, you
cant hear anything but a sort of loud "thumping" that isn't
really a sound, but you hear nothing else...

ive got a lowercase album.
its basically a recording of inaudible sounds, like an
anthill or a phonebattery running empty, edited in a way to
make it audible.

i think you might be looking for a "semi-sound" sensation
rather than something actually heard. It's a toughie, but
zeus is probably yer man for something like this.

what's it called? i've always thought about making lowercase
music, i love the whole idea of it.

I'm on a slow connection, so I can't listen to it. What is
it? By the way.. that picture is Tom Waits from the cover of
Alice, right?

apply a resonant lowpassfilter on the whitenoise and slowly
increase the cutoff-frequency. that would create the
illusion that you can't really analyse clearly what you hear
while the sound is pretty loud. I don't know if this is what
you mean but it's better than nothing I guess

ok, I'll try it and see if it does it. Hope I don't blow the
speakers...

hmm.. think I'll go with just a REALLY low pitched
sinewave.. it doesn't block sound, but it gives that
illusion to your ears... you also start to feel sick after
listening to it for more than 10 seconds... Could be fun to
blast just one sound for 6 mins at a disco somewhere...
