In o-TaS3 and in NbSe3 doped with Ta, but not in undoped NbSe3, driving the charge-density wave with an ac current produced broad-band noise out of phase with the current. The cross spectrum between this out-of-phase noise and the in-phase noise is small, so the two noises do not represent different aspects of a single fluctuating parameter. The out-of-phase noise appears to represent fluctuations in the magnitude of the nonlinear dielectric behavior (the overshoot phenomenon) which, surprisingly, survive repeated resetting of the polarization.
