Dynamical features of hysteresis are investigated in the context of the mean-field Ising model with Glauber dynamics. The departure point for the present analysis is a method by \textit{N. Berglund} and \textit{B. Gentz} [Nonlinearity 15, No. 3, 605--632 (2002; Zbl 1073.37061)] for reintroducing stochastic fluctuations to the mean field description of the dependence of shapes and areas of hysteresis loops on amplitude and frequency of the input (magnetic field) oscillations. That allows to retrieve/model (otherwise lost) finite size effects and the impact of thermal fluctuations. The paper invokes the Langevin equation, where the Wiener noise is added to a mean-field determined drift term, the latter originating from the Glauber process in the Curie-Weiss model. The noise intensity is proportional to \(N^{-1/2}\), where \(N\) is interpreted as the total number of spin sites in a ferromagnetic system. The period of magnetic field oscillations is tuned to be \(\omega ^{-1}\) with \(\omega \sim N^{-\kappa }\), \(\kappa >0\). By adopting various methods of stochastic analysis, the emergence of a limiting probability law is established for \(\kappa \geq 2/3 \). For \(\kappa <2/3\), the magnetization dynamics is still governed by a deterministic equation, whereas, for \(\kappa >2/3\), there is a hysteresis. In the close vicinity and sharply at \(\kappa =2/3\), the dynamical hysteresis becomes random, hence random hysteresis loops arise.
