dontcry commented on the word Johnson noise
In my experience (every night for 30 years) the Johnson noise sounds more like a mooing cow being put through a chipper. Not to put too fine a point on it. See snorifice.

dontcry commented on the word Johnson noise
Here's some more Johnson noise from dontcry (since I can't seem to post from my profile page anymore): I haven't visited wordie-nik for quite a while as my experiences have become less and less satisfying. It seems, now, that all of my pronunciatins have been wiped out... Ciao from The Porch, baby. Thanks for the memories!
