This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Jon Swaine (2010-11-23). "Congressional report 'derived from Wikipedia'". The Telegraph. Retrieved 2010-11-30. A separate passage in the report states: "The color [sic] names for these different types of sounds are derived from an analogy between the spectrum of frequencies". An identical phrase appears on a Wikipedia entry for "Colours of noise", which predated the report.

Warning: Some of these seem to originate exclusively from a single newsgroup posting from October 1996 by Joseph S. Wisniewski, and should be considered questionable. The nature of the wiki will cause the definitions to converge towards the true definitions with time, making this article more accurate than the copies of that posting. Providing references for each will help with this.
