What Is Pink Noise Generator?
The Pink Noise Generator creates continuous pink noise (1/f noise) directly in your browser. Pink noise has equal energy per octave, meaning it decreases by 3 dB per octave as frequency increases. This produces a balanced, natural-sounding result that many find more pleasant than white noise. Its spectral profile closely resembles natural sounds like rainfall, rustling leaves, and ocean surf. It's widely used for sleep, focus, audio testing, and speaker calibration. The signal is generated algorithmically with no streaming needed.
Why Use Pink Noise Generator?
-
Balanced, natural-sounding noise that's pleasant to listen to
-
Used professionally for audio system calibration
-
Algorithmically generated — works offline
-
Volume control with smooth transitions and timer
Common Use Cases
Sleep
Fall asleep to the balanced, rain-like sound of pink noise.
Focus
Create a consistent ambient sound environment for concentration.
Audio Testing
Use pink noise for speaker calibration and room acoustics testing.
Sound Therapy
Pink noise is used in sound therapy and tinnitus management.
Technical Guide
Pink noise (1/f noise) is generated using the Voss-McCartney algorithm, which efficiently produces pink noise by summing multiple random number generators updated at different rates. The algorithm uses a set of octave-band generators: generator k updates every 2^k samples and adds a new random value. The sum of all generators produces an approximation of 1/f spectral distribution. Alternatively, a Kellet filter approach applies a series of first-order IIR filters to white noise: using three cascaded filters with coefficients (0.99886, 0.99332, 0.96900) to shape the spectrum. The result has a power spectral density of 1/f (-3 dB/octave). A 2-second buffer is filled and looped via AudioBufferSourceNode. Volume control uses a GainNode. The timer uses scheduled gain ramp for fadeout.
