We analyze the time decay of small amplitude density perturbations in systems of highly packed Brownian hard rods, relaxing towards a uniform density distribution. The results of Brownian dynamics simulations and those of the deterministic dynamic density functional (DDF) theory, are contrasted with a new theoretical approach beyond the DDF assumptions. We characterize dynamical correlation modes which, having the lowest relaxation time, determine the late time evolution of the system. The spectrum of possible time decays has a continuous band structure, with pockets of discrete values, near the minima of the DDF results, where the validity of that theory appears to be well established.
