White Noise/White Light

[pozz]

If white noise is like white light, then what's the equivalent of pink noise? Another way of putting ot would be: for the visual sense, what's the equivalent of equal energy per octave?

Sound covers many octaves.

Visible light does not, about 1 octave.

Pick a slope to use for that octave, I suppose.

Here's -3dB per half octave:

Surprise!

It's Pink

Has to be some way to translate the spectrum. Hmm..

Only if you use those AKM DACs that have Velvet sound.
