Sampo's test should be carried out multiple times to gather statistics, and because repetition will aid in reinforcement of the memory, also the number of repetitions should be controlled or recorded. How about "tap to the rhythm of it"?
Or, more to the point, you should always repeat the test using a different noise stream. You shouldn't be able to learn any statistical deviation from one test to another. The only learning and pattern recognition in play should take place from cycle to cycle, and possibly even so that you're limited from hearing more than two cycles of sequence. (Though it's pretty much impossible to implement that without the cutoff giving you a hint of what the repetition length was.)
Interestingly, nobody's taken the test as of yet. Even if it ain't in the least bit a contest, and I already said to begin with that the result might be rather interesting for any and all.
Feature-stripped noise should work better in some applications than truly random noise. Perhaps multi-band compression could be used to level it out.
If you do anything of the sort, you by definition introduce structure into the signal. After that it ain't noise anymore.
