The mathematical pun is strong with this one. What looks like lyrics from a questionable club anthem is actually a brilliant physics joke about signal processing. "1/freq." is the formula for period (T), which measures the time between wave repetitions. So essentially, she flickers on noise until reaching the period—the punchline being that physicists and engineers find ways to insert equations into literally everything, including what appears to be romantic advances. The peer who contributed this clearly spent too much time in the signal analysis lab and not enough time in social settings.
