i don't think that quantum noise is necessarily "white" in the audible
domain.
Doesn't it depend on how it's recorded ?
Using a nonquantum example, if you record speaker membrane position as a
function of time, store it in a table and then play it as if it had been
recorded electrically, wouldn't it sound like it needs a big EQ ?
But then, if something quantum is gaussian, then its spectrum is gaussian
too, and that needs quite trickier EQing in order to sound white.
In any case, once you EQ whichever noise source to sound like the other
one, no-one can figure out which one is quantum just by ear. Thus,
musically, it does not matter.
