In this paper, we discuss the nonlinear optical effects that arise when stochastic light waves, with different correlation times, interfere in an absorbing medium. It is shown that four-wave mixing signals are generated in several directions that spectrally track the incoming light fields. This effect is particularly relevant to transient hole-burning experiments, where one of these signals could easily be misinterpreted as a genuine hole-burning feature
