I wouln't do that. There is already definitions for white noise and the usage
is not correlated with what you are proposing.

Gaussian noise and white noise is the summing of an infinit number of sines
spread equally over the frequency range, all having the same amplitude. The
gaussian distribution (gaussian bell) is the probability pattern formed by the
summing of all these sines.

PS. Isn't this list becomming very noisy?
