  We investigate the excitation of a quantum particle shuttled in a harmonic
trap with weak springconstant colored noise. The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model for
the noise correlation function describes a wide range of possible noises, in
particular for short correlation times the white-noise limit examined in Lu et
al, Phys. Rev. A 89, 063414 (2014) and, by averaging over correlation times,
"1/f ficker noise". We find expressions for the excitation energy in terms of
static (independent of trap motion) and dynamical sensitivities, with opposite
behavior with respect to shuttling time, and demonstrate that the excitation
can be reduced by proper process timing and design of the trap trajectory.
