  Using the Minkowski space AdS/CFT prescription we explicitly compute in the
low-energy limit the two-point correlation function of the boundary
stress-energy tensor in a large class of type IIB supergravity backgrounds with
a regular translationally invariant horizon. The relevant set of supergravity
backgrounds includes all geometries which can be interpreted via gauge
theory/string theory correspondence as being holographically dual to finite
temperature gauge theories in Minkowski space-times. The
fluctuation-dissipation theorem relates this correlation function computation
to the previously established universality of the shear viscosity from
supergravity duals, and to the universality of the low energy absorption
cross-section for minimally coupled massless scalars into a general spherically
symmetric black hole. It further generalizes the latter results for the
supergravity black brane geometries with non-spherical horizons.
