    Just as interesting and surprising to me is that this 0-100Hz line is <i>unexplained</i>. Given that signal processing is the foundation of pretty much all digital technology, as well as the analog technologies that came before, I&#x27;ve kind of assumed every segment of a frequency plot be well studied and understood, with half a dozen of names to choose for (doublesine quefrency this, Kowalski-Shannon that...) and a heap of decades old textbooks about it.<p>I confirm, the low frequency range looks weird on every DFT plot I ever saw, particularly the audio ones. I just assumed it has something to do with ADC and is probably explained on Wikipedia. It&#x27;s literally one of the last place on Earth when I&#x27;d expect to find unsolved mysteries.

    The piece ends with the observation that maybe the fact that 1&#x2F;f noise is its own Fourier transform is a clue.<p>Turns out this property is not unusual. There are many such pairs - there’s a reasonably well-known journal paper with a construction technique.

      The paper linked at the &quot;see also&quot; section ? (thx)
