Background - I wanted to get a quick 1-liner for brown and white noise without installing sox.
Finally found out that ffmpeg has a built-in way of generating this.

Thank you! Much better.

What OS are you using?
Installing ffmpeg with brew on MacOS doesn't give me a bin for ffmpeg.ffplay

On MacOS, use simply e.g.

ffplay -f lavfi -showmode 0 -i 'anoisesrc=color=brown'

I'm on Linux. Thanks for the much needed MacOS addition!
