Rectangular and gaussian white noise both have identical spectrums, but the
time domain amplitude of the resultant noise is quite different. As Brian
pointed out this can be important for modulation, but it also if you have
any non-linear processing of the noise, eg through waveshapers or
non-linear filters, then there will also be a noticeable difference.
