  1. We study the change in the size and shape of the mean limit cycle of a stochastically driven nonlinear oscillator as a function of noise amplitude. Such dynamics occur in a variety of nonequilibrium systems, including the spontaneous oscillations of hair cells of the inner ear. The noise-induced distortion of the limit cycle generically leads to its rounding through the elimination of sharp (high-curvature) features through a process we call corner cutting. We provide a criterion that may be used to identify limit cycle regions most susceptible to such noise-induced distortions. By using this criterion, one may obtain more meaningful parametric fits of nonlinear dynamical models from noisy experimental data, such as those coming from spontaneously oscillating hair cells.
