2.1 Flicker Noise

Flicker noise, or 1/f noise, is considered to be in the low frequency range; that is, frequencies less than 1kHz. 1/f noise has a slope of one divided by the square root of frequency. For low-frequency focused circuits, such as a woofer or bass control stage, 1/f noise can be critical. However for a circuit that covers the full audio bandwidth, the 1/f noise will not be a dominant noise contribution.
