You don't specify what species of file this is, but 

 mplayer -fixed-vo -loop 0

where '-fixed-vo' prevents reopening of the display (if indeed there is one)
between repeats might help.

I don't have mplayer so I can't verify experimentally.

I do have cvlc and tried

 cvlc TAKE04.WAV --start-time 10 --stop-time 30 --repeat

and discerned no pause at the end (or at beginning).

As you're dealing with white noise, I see no pressing need to go all the
way to the end of the file (nor even to start at the beginning). 

The above loops a twenty second slice.

Bonne nuit!
