Green Noise

Green noise is not an officially recognised term. There are several unofficial definitions in use — these appear to be the two most common:

(1) The mid-frequency component of white noise.

(2) "The background noise of the world", a sort of new-age description of ambient noise averaged from several different outdoors locations. Similar in sound to pink noise with an emphasis on the range around 500Hz.
