I love noise. Here, I explain the different "colors" of noise (and why they have those chromatic names).

From our dear friends white noise and pink noise, to less familiar characters such as brown noise, and green noise, each type has a particular frequency spectrum and therefore different uses in synthesis and sound design.

0:00 Introduction
0:16 White Noise and Spectra
1:03 Pink Noise
1:45 Logarithmic Perception and Pitch
2:53 Red/Brown Noise
3:58 Blue/Azure Noise
4:13 Violet/Purple Noise
4:29 Grey Noise
4:53 Green Noise
5:20 Velvet Noise
5:35 Hot Pink Noise in Kyma
5:48 Black Noise
