[ Replace this line with your line noise ]

	This may be on the wrong newsgroup, but since I want to do this
with the Amiga, it *seems* appropriate.

	Since the Amiga uses bitmapped waveforms to make sound, how do I
create {white,pink} noise?  I have a random number generator, but I suspect
there's more to it than random numbers.  You probably have to get the
distribution just right or it won't sound good (I'm guessing).

	While I'm at it, could someone point me at a good book that will
help me not to ask such questions again?  Something that will give a guy
that knows nothing about sound generation an idea of how to make the
noises he wants.
