I have coded up the procedure in the previous post: The result does not look like what I would expect. 

As shown in Attachment1 I have the power spectrum of the 32-bit output and the 64-bit output as well as the power spectrum of the two subtracted time series as well as the subtracted power spectra of both. unfortunately, all of them follow the same general shape of the raw output of the filter. 

I would not expect quantization noise to follow the shape of the filter. I would instead expect it to be more uniform. If anything I would expect the quantization noise to increase with frequency. If a high-frequency signal is run through a filter that has high quantization noise then it will severely degrade: i.e. higher quantization noise. 

This is one reason why I am confused by what I am seeing here. In all cases including feeding the same and different white noise into both filters, I have found that the calculated quantization noise is proportional to the response of the filter. this seems wrong to me so I will continue to play around with it to see if I can gain any intuition about what might be happening.
