    """**Simulate a continuous signal**

    Parameters
    ----------
    duration : float
        Desired length of duration (s).
    sampling_rate : int
        The desired sampling rate (in Hz, i.e., samples/second).
    frequency : float or list
        Oscillatory frequency of the signal (in Hz, i.e., oscillations per second).
    amplitude : float or list
        Amplitude of the oscillations.
    noise : float
        Noise level (amplitude of the laplace noise).
    silent : bool
        If ``False`` (default), might print warnings if impossible frequencies are queried.
    random_state : None, int, numpy.random.RandomState or numpy.random.Generator
        Seed for the random number generator. See for ``misc.check_random_state`` for further information.

    Returns
    -------
    array
        The simulated signal.
