Stationary speech-shaped noise can be synthesized by phase-randomizing a speech spectrum

Evidence

Maskers were 3.8-s excerpts (to make sure that all maskers were longer than the longest target sentence) of a long stationary speech-shaped noise obtained by concatenating several lists of sentences, taking the Fourier transform of the resulting signal, randomizing its phase, and finally taking its inverse Fourier transform. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3546
