We study a stochastic Cucker-Smale flocking system in which particles interact with
the environment through white noise. We provide the definition of flocking for the stochastic system,
and show that when the communication rate is constant, the system exhibits a flocking behavior
independent of the initial configurations. For the case of a radially symmetric communication rate
with a positive lower bound, we show that the relative fluctuations of the particle velocity around the
mean velocity have a uniformly bounded variance in time. We conclude with numerical simulations
that validate our analytical results.
