Yes, it's a pink noise that I used for adjusting levels.
I don't know what kind of noise was on those frequencies, but I think it was also pink noise.
There are also signals on that DVD for rattle test.
One goes through whole spectrum 20Hz-20kHz.
The others are 5 chunks of that spectrum, I forgot what the borders of each exactly are, but I can check.
If, for instance, I put one of those chunks to play constantly and measure SPL, and then go through each of them and repeat, will I get 5 points on a frequency response chart so I can make a graph. I know that it's not accurate, just 5 points, but my equalizer is also not perfect. I have an option to change gain on 3 freqencies only.

The only way to properly do this is with a spectrum analyser, pink
noise and a flat response microphone.   Your SPL meter will
quite possibly be inaccurate if you're listening to different
frequencies of tone seperately.  We have our dubbing theatres
lined up by Dolby every now & then, and though a Tandy SPL
meter is fine for quick level measurements (with pink noise), a
proper spectrum analyser is needed, with a microphone with a
very flat response, to adjust the eq.

Is  there pink noise on the test DVD? Perhaps a PC spectrum
analyser prog could be found too.  Dolby obviously use veh veh
expensive flash analysis equipment for this task.
