looking for a 0.2 sec white noise sound that can be continuously looped seamlessly. seamless is important because it will be played while the button is down for as long as the player needs.

There is a lot of white noise uploaded on this site, which you can find here:

You can always trim down the track and make it loopable yourself rather easily with the free software Audacity (within which you can also very easily create the white noise yourself, using 'Generate' -> 'Noise', trim it down to a few seconds, and shift+click the play button to see if it loops seamlessly).

It might be tricky to create one that loops effectively at 0.2s long, so I recommend at least a second long.

Thanks. I've been doing that.. spent hours trying to make a clean 0.2 sec sound that loops seamlessly with lo luck. I will try the software you mentioned and work on it some more. I was hoping someone with actual skills can bang it out with little to no effort. seems simple.

thank you for the reply. The 1 sec thing is actually too long for cases where the user does some precision bursts. It makes it look like a dubbed over foreign movie

A "pfft" has a soft attack start and a hard percussive finish. The sound would need to be broken into at least two segments, a "pffffff..(white noise)..." which is gated ON by "key-down" with "key-up" simultaneously gating OFF "pffffff..." and gating ON "..ftt!".

White noise is by definition random, or pseudo-random, and the human ear/brain will always pick out a rapidly repeating sequence. I don't think there is a way to fool the ear into thinking that any sound that repeats itself 5 times a second is random noise. Sorry.

I also believe this...
