whitenoise is a small utility that turns your computer into an ambient random noise generator. This can be useful for relaxation, helping you get to sleep, drowning out noisy neighbors, etc. whitenoise is a console-based program, but version 1.0 can be controlled in realtime by (possibly graphical) frontends. Shannon -jj Behrens has been working on a GNOME frontend. An experimental version is available here: gnome-whitenoise-0.1.1.tar.gz (screenshot). gnome-whitenoise is created using the Python bindings for GNOME 2.
Requirements:
You will need a sound card with Open Sound System-compatible drivers, such as those found in GNU/Linux (my development platform). Some users have reported that this older version of whitenoise works fine on Windows via the Cygwin Linux emulation layer, but the current version apparently does not.
If you would like whitenoise to interface with aRts, then you will need the libartsc header and libraries.
whitenoise can generate plots of the filter frequency response. To take advantage of this optional feature, you need FFTW 3.x and gnuplot
What's New in This Release:
The build script now adds "-lm" at the linking stage.
