Episode notes
Violet noise, also known as purple noise or purple-pink noise, is a type of sound that belongs to the broader category of colored noise. Colored noise refers to noise that has a particular spectral distribution, meaning it has a specific distribution of energy across different frequencies.
In the case of violet noise, the energy of the sound is concentrated at higher frequencies, specifically at the upper end of the audible spectrum. It gets its name from the violet color, which has the highest frequency in the visible light spectrum.
It contains equal energy per octave, which means that the power of the sound doubles with each octave increase in frequency. This results in a sound that appears louder at higher frequencies compared to lower frequencies.
Mathematically, violet noise follows a power-law distribution, where the powe ...
