Flickering is a phenomenon associated with all known accretion powered processes. Yet despite its energetic importance and universality, our understanding of flickering remains elementary. Only recently has the flickering itself become a topic of serious investigation. This paper briefly addresses two fundamental observational questions: “Where is the flickering coming from?” and “What is the spectrum of the flickering?”.
