Pink Noise Function generator

[VanguardAudioLabs]

I'm generally happy with my function generator (an old LG FC-8002) for testing/debugging circuits, but i'm looking for a pink noise generator for testing microphones as well. Sometimes it's much harder to detect tonal shifts with a pulse/sweep.

Anyone have any good suggestions to look for on the used market?

I've thought a lot about doing it this way, but I'm very very good at trashing my cheap interfaces (I think i'm on my fourth Focusrite 2i2 in 10 years. The most recent one i've somehow blown up the direct monitoring circuit, so it's very quiet in comparison to playing back through my DAW.) Feels foolish to give myself yet another way to turn my interfaces into doorstops/paperweights

Ideally looking for something where i can just quickly attach my BNC clip leads to the output and drop it into the mic circuit at various points, and has built in attenuation. I've considered building something myself, but time is not a particular luxury of mine. I've got enough projects as it is if anyone has anything they use and like i'm all ears.

Not cheap, and would require a homemade adapter for xlr to clip leads, but I appreciate my soundbullet. It has become an essential like my talkback mic and headphones.

just looked it up, that's a clever little device!
