White Noise?

I woke up on the wrong side of bed today and decided that I will throw some sticks in the spokes of "The Sea Darkens" or at least the way we refer to it in an analytical sense. I remember that we used the term "white noise" for metaphorical purposes, but in reality, there was absolutely no white noise in the piece by definition.

white noise
–noun
1.
Also called white sound. a
steady, unvarying, unobtrusive sound, as an electronically produced drone or the
sound of rain, used to mask or obliterate unwanted sounds.
2.
Physics.
random noise with a uniform frequency spectrum over a wide range of
frequencies.

This handy definition from dictionary.com shows us that any structuring of the white noise makes it no longer "white". White noise is a very specific quality of sound that has its own definition. There is no audible semblance of the word "white" or "sea" in white noise. If we subtract enough sine waves through subtractive synthesis we may uncover such a phenomenon, but we would destroy the purity of true white noise in the process by changing it. If we must use the idea of "white noise" let us only refer to it as part of the source or process in creating the piece we heard, but not so much of any exact sound presented in the piece. I sound pushy don't I? Well, I'll stop here. I would probably get quite annoying if I continued.
