I don't know if it is true, but my roomate has informed me that the manu-
facturers of CD's introduce white noise (maybe pink noise) to reduce the
'spikes'.  CD's will produce a "stair-step" type of waveform, and the
white (pink) noise produces a flat line (or curve), instead of spikes.

disclaimer: I don't know if its true or just B.S.  (I don't work for no-one
	    who makes, designs, sells, uses, borrows, steals, or thinks
	    about CD's)
