Sim, exatamente isso: "A state of indecisive agitation." TheFreeDictionary. Veja o link acima, lá descreve "dither" no contexto de "servo control systems"-não consegue decidir/escolher entre dois níveis./ Acho que este sentido se aplica a outro contexto.

verb
verb: dither; 3rd person present: dithers; past tense: dithered; past participle: dithered; gerund or present participle: dithering
2.
add white noise to (a digital recording) to reduce distortion of low-amplitude signals.
"Dither" is intentional noise which is added so as to randomise the quantisation errors (rounding errors) that occur when downsampling the Bit Depth of an audio stream to a lower resolution than the current format. The dither randomises the "arithmetical carry" on rounding the last bit to be used, rather than creating a repeatable, quantifiable rounding error. In this way the potentially audible distortion problems inherent in downsampling are minimised. The noise itself isn't audible unless heavily or repeatedly amplified.
