Noise clock table
Hardware noise on the SNES is generated by a 15-bit Fibonacci linear-feedback shift register. [1] Unlike the NES which has two hardware noise timbres, the SNES only has one. The taps are located at bits 0 & 1, which are XOR'd together and fed back into bit 14 while the whole register shifts to the right (dividing everything else by two). [2] Its initial seed value is 4000h and its period is 32,767 (2^15 - 1), after which the noise audibly repeats. See all of the values here.
Note that the noise sampling frequency is the perceived pitch (due to overtones) even though it is double (Nyquist) that of the fundamental. It is selected via bits 0 to 4 of the FLG register in DSPRAM (see the table below). On reset, the noise frequency is reset to zero.
The Gaussian interpolator does not operate on the hardware noise generator.
