...although I still don't know what white noise actually is.
there is white noise and pink noise
White noise is random frequency (hiss in stereo terms) where the amplitude of the wave is equal per frequency
Pink noise is similar except it is arranged based on the musical concept of 'octaves' ... so its equal energy per octave.
The terms are used based on white light being equal energy per wavelength (looking white) and pink light being equal energy per octave (looking pink).
