Using Pink noise to mask noise.

[I dont like noise.]

I have some noise problems at my place and was reading about pink noise and downlaoded a 5 minute sample of it and play it with my Mp3 player and it works very very welll, it blockes out all the outside noise perfectly and it does not really annoy me at all, mos tof the time I forget its there.

But I was wondering If i setup a speaker system at my front door and balcony and played the piink noise woudl it be effctive, or does it need to be close to you for it to work ??

Just wanting to know the pink noise is not that irrateing, but I would liek it to be less noticeable :)

Thanks.

No, white noise is _not_ pink noise.

White noise is broadband (constant across frequency), pink noise is proportional to 1/f...
