I don't know if you are using Protools but I am pretty the signal noise generator comes with Pro Tools already.

Hi,

No, I don't use pro tools -- but that is an interesting fact in itself...you'd think they all would.

thanks

Adobe Audition includes a noise generator. I assume most of your stereo editors do as well.

I think you can get a bunch of test files from Blue Sky on their web site.
