Abstract
Noise-induced intermittency is observed as a precursor to mode locking of the washboard frequency to an external ac field in the charge-density-wave conductor Nb. The experimental results illustrate that mode locking proceeds via a competition between the deterministic dynamics and a stochastic broad-band -like noise.
