We study hydrodynamic fluctuations in an ideal gas. Because one is interested in thermodynamic properties of small volume elements, Einstein's theory of equilibrium fluctuations in large systems is insufficient. A toy model of correlated fluctuations in neighboring small cells leads us to the distinction of biased and unbiased momentum densities. Hydrodynamic equations that satisfy the fluctuation-dissipation theorem can then be formulated in terms of these two different momentum densities or velocities.
