Re: way to loop 1 second of noise but sound like its not looped

I have a digital sample of noise, its not really pink or white, it has
various peaks and valleys, and I'm trying to find a way to loop it
without it sounding like its looped. My device can only play back 1
second, or possibly 2 seconds of sound, (if I reduce the sampling rate
from 44100 to 22500). Is there a way to do this? Its all subjective and
the idea is to make it sound good to a person, its not for an
experiment.

I think I would perform an FFT transform of the 1 second burst, discard all components below some minimum inaudible cutoff and then do an inverse transform of what's left to produce the output waveform. The beginning and end should splice perfectly, though it will contain only integer Hz frequency components.
