Abstract

The noises considered in this paper are uniform, continuous noises, such as the fricatives of articulate speech: f, θ, ς, 묪, χ &c. These sounds are considered by the author to stand in a similar relation to musical tones as lights with continuous spectra do to lights with bright-line spectra. Methods were proposed for analysing these uniform continuous noises, and also for imitating them by synthetic means.
