X Abstract

We analyze the power spectra of avalanches in two classes of self-organized critical sandpile models, the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld model and the Manna model. We show that these decay with a $1/f^α$ power law, where the exponent value $α$ is significantly smaller than 2 and equals the scaling exponent relating the avalanche size to its duration. We discuss the basic ingredients behind this result, such as the scaling of the average avalanche shape.
