Abstract
The influence of the fluctuations on the dynamics of open macroscopic systems is analysed for a class of two dimensional examples. The amplitudes of the fluctuations are themselves dependent on the macro-variables. It is shown that such random noises can generate temporal oscillations of the macro-variables. This behaviour need not be inherent to the associated deterministic equations.
