It has been recently shown numerically that the transition from integrability to chaos in quantum systems and the corresponding spectral fluctuations are characterized by $\frac{1}{f^{\alpha}}$ noise with $1\leq\alpha\leq 2$. The system of interacting trapped bosons is inhomogeneous and a complex system. The presence of external harmonic trap makes it more interesting as in the atomic trap the bosons occupy partly degenerate single-particle states. Earlier theoretical and experimental results show that at zero temperature the low-lying levels are of collective nature and high-lying excitations are of single particle nature. We observe that for few bosons, $P(s)$ distribution shows the Shnirelman peak which exhibits a large number of quasi-degenerate states. For large number of bosons the low-lying levels are strongly affected by the interatomic interaction and the corresponding level fluctuation shows a transition to Wigner with increase in particle number. It does not follow GOE (Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble) Random Matrix predictions. For high-lying levels we observe the uncorrelated Poisson distribution. Thus it may be a very realistic system to prove that $\frac{1}{f^{\alpha}}$ noise is ubiquitous in nature.
