I've wondered about that too-from a perceptual point of view. There's not much differentiation among noise signals. They all mostly sound the same

Well, the brain still has to extract enough info from them to have a general idea of what kind of noise it is (a rough shape of spectrum), and ESPECIALLY extract the non-noise portions of the spectrum.

Even though there's a very large number of dimensions for variation, they must have a sparse representation somewhere (in the brains... brains...)

but the FFT?  no way...

Well, there are perceptual models that try to separate «noise» from «non-noise» for easier encoding and stuff...
