Starting from the simple point process model of 1∕f noise, we derive a stochastic nonlinear differential equation for the signal exhibiting 1∕f noise, in any desirably wide range of frequency. A stochastic differential equation (the general Langevin equation with a multiplicative noise) that gives 1∕f noise is derived. The solution of the equation exhibits the power-law distribution. The process with 1∕f noise is demonstrated by the numerical solution of the derived equation with the appropriate restriction of the diffusion of the signal in some finite interval.
