We discuss the production of induced noise by a pulse and the propagation of the noise in a dispersive medium. We present a simple model where the noise is the sum of pulses and where the mean of each pulse is random. We obtain explicit expressions for the standard deviation of the spatial noise as a function of time. We also formulate the problem in terms of a time-frequency phase space approach and in particular we use the Wigner distribution to define the spatial spatial-frequency distribution. 1. Introduction In many situations noise is induced by a pulse due to the scattering of the pulse from many sources. To take a specific example consider a pulse that hits a school of fish each fish scatters the wave and the acoustic field seen at an arbitrary point is the sum of the waves received from each fish the sum of which is noise like. Another example is the creation of a set of bubbles by a propeller in a finite region in space. When each bubble explodes it produces a wave and the acoustic pressure seen is the sum of the waves produced by each bubble. Of course this is a simplified view since there could be many other effects such as multiple scattering. Now as time evolves the noise field is propagating and can be changing in a significant way if the medium has dispersion. Our aim here is to .
