Question 1

What is white noise and how does it help with sleep?

Noise Player · Accepted Answer

White noise is a consistent sound that contains all frequencies at equal intensity. It helps with sleep by masking environmental sounds and creating a steady audio backdrop so sudden noises are less likely to wake you.

Question 2

What's the difference between brown noise and white noise?

Noise Player · Accepted Answer

Brown noise (Brownian noise) emphasizes lower frequencies, so it sounds deeper and rumblier—think heavy rain or a strong waterfall. White noise spreads energy more evenly across frequencies. Many people find brown noise more soothing for sleep.
