Hydrogen bonded (H-bonded) liquids can be considered as mediums that have nanosized heterogeneities. Previously, it was shown that the light scattering by acoustic phonons is accompanied by fluctuations of intensity of light with power spectral density () that reflects the phonon energy fluctuations. In this work fluctuations of light scattering in H-bonded liquids have been investigated. We consider two mechanisms of -process forming: fluctuations of phonon energy and fluctuations caused by dynamical inhomogeneities, predicted by percolation model. The variability can be explained by different contributions of both scattering mechanisms, which form an overall picture of low-frequency fluctuations of scattering light intensity in complex liquids.
