matlab pink noise,Generate pink noise

Create a 5 second stereo pink noise signal with a 48 kHz sample rate.

fs = 48e3;

duration = 5;

numChan = 2;

pn = pinknoise(duration*fs,numChan);

Listen to the stereo pink noise signal.

sound(pn,fs)

Channels of the pink noise function are generated independently. Note that the off-diagonal correlation coefficients are close to zero (uncorrelated).

R = corrcoef(pn(:,1),pn(:,2))

R = 2×2

1.0000 -0.0190

-0.0190 1.0000

Correlated and uncorrelated pink noise have different psychoacoustic effects. When the noise is correlated, the sound is less ambient and more centralized. To listen to correlated pink noise, send a single channel of the pink noise signal to your stereo device. The effect is most pronounced when using headphones.
