What is white noise?
White noise contains every audible frequency at equal intensity. The result is a consistent, sharp static that the brain quickly tunes out as background.
Because it masks sudden changes in sound — a door, voices, traffic — it creates a consistent sonic wall around you. Popular for open-plan offices and light sleep.
Tips for using white noise
Try combining with a touch of warmth and short reverb for a softer, more comfortable texture. If white noise feels too sharp on your ears over a long session, grey noise offers the same masking effect with the harshest highs smoothed off.
