I have just experienced pink noise.
The library has installed four "pods" for group computing - think fancy cubes set up so that four or five people can sit there and collaborate on the computer. They look very hi-tech, with fake steel uprights and translucent walls, as a matter of fact, almost exactly like the rendered image of them, only taller and not as wide.
Anyway, as part of the hi-tech sexiness, they're equipped with pink-noise systems, which generate noise that's supposed to help with something somehow. I'm hazy on the exact application ebcause my quick Google search doesn't produce anything but pages telling me how to generate it, with no mention of why I'd want to generate it, other than testing audio systems, which I know is not the reason for installing it in the pods.
At any rate, pink noise sounds an awful lot like being in a room with a computer fan running.
