Ah, it's easy to see why it won't sound like white noise. The standard function is a Fourier series - a sum of sine waves. It's a power series where the b parameter must be an odd positive integer value 7 or greater. If we want the n = 0 case to map to 20 Hz (minimum of human hearing), and the maximum frequency we can hear is 20kHz (valid for children) then the highest term we can hear is the solution to 20000/7^n = 20; 7^n = 1000, n = 3.55, which means that we'll only be able to hear the first three terms.
This will sound quite interesting, but it's a really bad approximation of the Weierstrass function! http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sin%28x%29+%2B+0.9*sin%287*x%29+%2B0.9%5E2*sin%287*7*x%29 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=sin%28x%29+%2B+0.9*sin%...
