1. A method of providing a neurostimulation therapy to a patient, comprising:
generating a noise pulse pattern, defining a pulse train of pulses to be generated, according to a noise profile in an external device;
communicating the generated noise pulse pattern to an implantable pulse generator (IPG) of a patient;
generating, by the IPG, a series of pulses in sequence for noise stimulation of the patient using the noise pulse pattern from the external device, wherein the IPG applies one or more randomization operations to the pulse pattern from the external device while maintaining the noise profile of the pulse pattern from the external device, wherein the one or more randomization operations include randomly switching between forward and backward play directions of the pulse train when generating the sequence of the series of pulses; and
applying the series of pulses in sequence to neural tissue of the patient using one or more electrodes of one or more stimulation leads.
