Brownian meander factor for the spatial axis must be square root of the scaling factor for the time axis. The process resulting from this snip-and-scale procedure is a Brownian meander. As the name suggests, it is a piece of Brownian motion that spends all its time away from its starting point formula_5. The transition density formula_12 of Brownian meander is described as follows: For formula_13 and formula_14, and writing we have and In particular, i.e. formula_19 has the Rayleigh distribution with parameter 1, the same distribution as formula_20, where formula_21 is an exponential random variable with parameter 1. Brownian meander In the
Brownian noise it has more energy at lower frequencies, even more so than pink noise. It decreases in power by 6 dB per octave (20 dB per decade) and, when heard, has a "damped" or "soft" quality compared to white and pink noise. The sound is a low roar resembling a waterfall or heavy rainfall. See also violet noise, which is a 6 dB "increase" per octave. Strictly, Brownian motion has a Gaussian probability distribution, but "red noise" could apply to any signal with the 1/"f" frequency spectrum. A Brownian motion, also called a Wiener process, is obtained as the integral of
