What is bright noise?

Bright noise is a high-weighted texture, sharper and more forward than white noise. It cuts through ambient sound with a clear, present hiss.

It's a good choice when you need active masking that doesn't fade into the background - the sonic equivalent of a bright light rather than a warm glow.
