You could generate white noise and then "shape" the frequency content any way you like using the Equalization effect: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/equalization.html To check the frequency content of the filtered noise, use "Plot Spectrum": http://manual.audacityteam.org/o...

I have run "./configure" and then "make" but compilation is failing because of data type issues: I think this may be fixed in jengelh's fork: https://github.com/jengelh/audacity Unfortunately the pull request from jengelh has merge conflicts with the current audacity/audacity co...
