noise generator circuits use different methods of setting the DC bias current.

Vacuum diode

One common noise source was a thermally-limited (saturated-emission) hot-cathode vacuum tube diode. These sources could serve as white noise generators from a few kilohertz through UHF and were available in normal radio tube glass envelopes. Flicker ( $\ \tfrac{1}{\ f\ }\$ ) noise
