Because analog and digital noise generators sound different. Analog noise is "hiss" and has a 
gaussian level distribution. Digital noise can sound like "hiss" under some circumstances, but 
can be changed a lot, it has a uniform level distribution.

Here is a chart from Federal Scientific, which shows statistical properties of waveforms 
including analog and digital noise:

The Noise Ring outptus waveforms 6 and two different versions of 10. The "Change" control 
essentially controls auto-correlation.
