Bruit de fond. Quel que soit l'appareil de mesure utilisé, le signal délivré n'est pas fixe et fluctue autour d'une valeur moyenne. Ces perturbations sont de trois ordres : à court terme, à long terme et la dérive. Le bruit de fond à court terme est généralement d'origine électronique provenant du système de capteur du détecteur ou de l'amplificateur. Sa fréquence est supérieure à celle d'un pic élué. Le bruit de fond à long terme est composé de perturbations de ligne de base de fréquence similaires à celle d'un pic élué. Son origine se situe habituellement dans des changements de température ou de pression. 3, record 3, French, - bruit%20de%20fond

Bruits de fond. C'est le brouhaha confus de l'ensemble de l'activité qui nous environne. Il se caractérise par son niveau sensiblement constant, ou du moins par la lenteur de son évolution. Étant presque toujours identique à lui-même, il n'apporte que peu d'informations et, en conséquence, il cesse d'être véritablement perçu. 2, record 4, French, - bruit%20de%20fond
