sfnoise


NAME

sfnoise − A "white" noise generator.

SYNOPSIS

sfnoise [−a dB][−t type][−d seconds][-r samplingRate][-o outputSoundfile]

DESCRIPTION

sfnoise creates "white" noise, either "uniform" (the default) or "gaussian", at a variety of durations, amplitudes, and sampling rates.

USAGE

sfnoise -d 10

Generate 10 seconds of "uniform" white noise (the default), and put the output into noise.wav , which is also the default.

OPTIONS

−a dB

Set the output amplitude level to dB decibels.

−t type

type can either be gaussian or uniform .

−o file

Place the output in file .

−d n

Create the noise for n seconds. This variable must be given by the user.

−r srate

Set the sampling rate to be srate . The default is 44100 samples per second.

BUGS

This program will only work with WAVE, AIFF, AIFC, and the old NeXT/Sun "snd" format soundfiles, that are 16-bit PCM encoded, with 1 or 2 channels.
