  A layer-by-layer description of the asymmetric lattice gas model for
1/f-noise suggested by Jensen [Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, 3103 (1990)] is presented.
The power spectra of the lattice layers in the direction perpendicular to the
particle flux is studied in order to understand how the white noise at the
input boundary evolves, on the average, into 1/f-noise for the system. The
effects of high boundary drive and uniform driving force on the power spectrum
of the total number of diffusing particles are considered. In the case of
nearest-neighbor particle interactions, high statistics simulation results show
that the power spectra of single lattice layers are characterized by different
$\beta_x$ exponents such that $\beta_x \to 1.9$ as one approaches the outer
boundary.
