1. create a magnitude spectrum of the desired spectral profile.
2. assign random phase (use a random number generator) to each bin to
	get complex symmetric spectrum. 
3. inverse FFT to get pseudo-random time series.

* you can also get true-random (Gaussian) time series by windowing and
  shuffling the pseuddo-random series.
* If you know the phase response of all major components in the output
  signal path, you can also control the peak factor (peak/rms) better.
