I have started listening to random American city council meetings lately for white noise. Since they're all bureaucratic-flavored boredom anyway.

There are many kind of noise. But white noise has all frequencies of sound at about the same volume. (Just like white light is a mix of many colors in equal portions.) Think of an old TV on a blank channel, a rainstorm, or a waterfall.
