What is the science behind white noise? On this explainer, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice break down frequencies and what defines white noise.
What makes white noise? We explore high energy versus low energy sound and the frequencies that contribute to white noise. Do kids these days even know anything about TV static? We go back to the days of TV antenna and back even farther to the age of Isaac Newton. When did we first start to figure out frequency and the electromagnetic spectrum? Where did we get ROYGBIV from? What is black noise? Finally, how are white light and white noise related?

I think it should be called "equan noise" derived from equan(imity) Edit: it's up to you Neil! If you can have the scientific community acquiesce to Pluto's planetary status revocation.

Long time ago, while in his backyard enjoying a couple beers, this one guy asked me why the grass is green and not some other color. I had no idea. He explained: "the natural chemical on the cells of the surface of the grass blades absorbs every spectrum of color from the sunlight, except the green color. It bounces it off, so when we look at it, all we see is the green light coming at us." I in turn asked him: "Then what is the real color of grass?" We each drank 2 more beers in total silence.

There's a variant of "white noise" called "pink noise," which is aptly named (by Neil's description of the origin of the name of white noise" because it partially mutes some of the higher frequencies, which results in it sounding softer and a bit less harsh on the human ear. Red noise is when you completely remove the higher tones leaving only the mid and bass tones, and it creates this really relaxing "wooosh" sound, like waves on a beach.

Why is that? Because the colour-decoding circuitry in the TV needs to pick up a special component in the broadcast signal before it turns on. This is to avoid introducing a certain level of random colour noise into a black-and-white picture (imperfect analog circuits, don’t you know). So in the noise that the receiver picks up in the absence of a signal, there is nothing resembling this colour signal, so the colour decoder remains off.

It's very complex and Bose and Dolby etc. have patents on it. It's not about the sounds, it's about understanding human perception of sounds. That's why I dislike much of new music. Using computers and algorithms and autotune etc. take away the feeling. The very slight imperfections and purposely wrong timing to create a feeling, make it human. Ring Starr was a left handed drummer with a right handed kit. He explains why some hits were off. But they were consistently off every time and it was great.

White noise is all frequencies with equal energy at each frequency. That causes more energy in higher spectrums because of there being more frequencies closer together as you go up. An ultraviolet catastrophe for sound engineers because of too much energy that high up. Pink noise is all frequencies but the energy is the same per octave, or logarithmic distribution. So the per frequency energy goes down as the frequencies go up. This is more often what sound engineers use for speaker set up. And there are variations of it. Computers, digital devices can not generate a true white or pink noise because digital devices can not generate a true random number. (Explainer?) They can run a program that simulates one and resets at some point in time.

So, I work in live audio, and we use something called pink noise to tune our speakers. It’s white noise, but the high end is attenuated so that you hear all the frequencies equally, since white noise tends to build up toward the higher end of the spectrum. It’s called pink because the light equivalent would be to attenuate the blue light.

Amplitude as a function of frequency (correct me if I’m wrong): White noise - constant Pink noise - 1/f Brown noise - 1/f² To get the power/energy density as a function of frequency, multiply each of these by f. What your ears hear is the energy, not the amplitude, which is why white noise seems dominated by the higher frequencies. So pink noise has constant energy over the frequency band.

Synaesthesiac here. Ironically enough, to me, white noise sounds sort like like a combination of dark green and black. The higher pitches have a brilliant, bright cyan kind of hue, but still not white. Not all those with Synaesthesia see the same colours with the same sounds/ tastes, etc. It’s not some fundamental truth we alone can sense. Still, though, pretty ironic!

Of course, the additive method of merging the 3 primary colors of RGB light creates the color white - we see this in projectors and variations of light bouncing off of things generally. But there is also the method of combining inks and paints called subtractive in which equal amounts of 3 colors combine to create the color black. The fun part is that if you look at the CIE charts for light, the horseshoe has a trick in it. If you create a line from red through the center point (white), the line ends at Cyan. The line from blue ends at Yellow. The line from green ends at Magenta. It is those three - secondary - colors that combine (if you have extremely perfect inks) to the color black.

I turned 54 back in June. I remember well when there was NOTHING BUT STATIC on the tv. It happened every night at midnight right after they played the national anthem. I'm a big fan of Dr. Tyson. I just finished his lectures "My favorite Universe" on Audible. The last lecture he goes off again on Hollywood depictions of aliens. Rightfully so. But more than once he brought up "Close Encounters of the third kind" and how did the aliens know the latitude and longitude coordinates for Devils Tower, Wyoming. I'll answer that one as bet I can. The aliens had a lot of human abductees on their spaceship including military men, pilots and sailors. They would have gotten the coordinates from them. That's how I think the aliens would have learned something about how we navigate on Earth. I would love to see Dr. Tyson work with Hollywood on a film where he gets input on what they look like. Keep looking up. Cheers, all. ✌

Oddly enough, when it comes to sound (not Light frequencies) white noise is unnatural and is generated from primarily electronic devices. When you listen to nature like the wind or a waterfall etc. it's called pink noise. It has a lower overall frequency but is still equal amplitude per octave as opposed to equal individual frequencies. It's fascinating.

I wish that every generation could begin with our 70's and 80's tech. Once they have experience with that which came before, they can graduate to newer technology. Today's generation simply does not understand nor respect what they do have. Simply because they have no life experience regarding how their tech came to be. There is a rotary phone a few feet from me for that very purpose. If I could bring back radio transmitted television, I would. Lastly, I believe no child should ever be given access to the internet until after they have learned how to find a particular book in a physical library. They should learn to read and comprehend what was read before being introduced to an environment which has become all about not reading what was typed out along with blind judgement/hatred.

Why start at 70's or 80's tech? Maybe they shouldn't get electricity till they learn to read and write by candle light. Heck maybe candle tech is too advanced and they should start with a whale oil lamp! And definitely no cars till they can walk 10+ miles in less than 2 hrs and then they can graduate to riding a horse for anything further than 10 miles till they can demonstrate they can feed and water a horse all on their own. The above is a joke to show how dumb forcing old tech onto someone just so they appreciate new tech is.

@@MrT------5743 A joke... perhaps. But my statement still stands strong. The young need valuable life experience which they are in no imaginable way receiving from today's immense technology options. They are not getting such experience because mommy and daddy lied and told their kids they were somehow born special and do not have to make any effort because everything should be handed to them already figured out so that they do not have to worry about learning. There MIGHT be 3 kids in this entire nation at this moment that can locate a book in an actual library. And that is seriously being as generous as possible here. Kids think Earth is a plate, aliens built the great pyramids, and that LSD is perfectly safe. I'll tell you one thing for a definite fact... not one of those kids got ANY of that false information from library books or any state funded school outside of Florida. Those collections of absolute intentional ignorance came DIRECTLY from the uneducated and inexperienced being allowed unsupervised access to today's technology known as the internet. They haven't a single clue what science is nor how science can help eliminate non-factual nonsense. They have not earned the right to today's technology for they are SERIOUSLY still on a severe need to know basis. (refer to video)

I've figured out how to change the stars by stopping hurricanes. Don't worry, I've technically already done the hard part and changed the stars. My parents were teachers and for almost 2 decades, they taught their students my constellation. Those kids will teach their kids. So on and so on. See, stars changed. I just need help to make it legit and with the rest. Need to get to Willie Nelson's house ASAP. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I'm serious. I get 7 things and remember, crazy is a compliment. Will you please help?

Funny thing is - I at first never understood 'Roy G Biv' when people talked about the 'colours of a rainbow' in school, and never understood the way others drew them in school with all these extra colours. Same when light goes through a prism. It wasn't till I was much older I realized that it's something with my ability to see colours. What I actually see is essentially RYI - I see red, yellow, and 'blue' (or apparently the Dark Blue I see is Indigo?) when I see a Rainbow or light through a prism because they essentially are 'absorbed' in to the others when I look at them, even though in some case I can still see them separately. But I can't identify certain 'shades' properly - such as 'navy blue' from black, some 'oranges' all I see is red, all depends where the 'line' is if I see it, or the colour that would be left/right of it on a scale. It's like if there were 100 colours humans can see, I can only see maybe 75 of them. Which can really suck cause 'colour blind mode' for games and what not is no help for it.

Fun fact: in the audio engineering world, weighted white noise - where the amplitude (energy) of high frequency information is logarithmically attenuated to match the energy of low frequency information is known as "pink noise". It's typically used in calibrating the phase and frequency response of sound systems.
