Question 1

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

Noise Player · Accepted Answer

White noise is an even sound that contains frequencies across the spectrum at similar intensity. It helps with sleep by masking sudden noises and giving the ear a steady backdrop — so traffic, appliances or neighbours 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) emphasises lower frequencies, so it sounds deeper and rumblier—like heavy monsoon rain or a strong waterfall. White noise spreads energy more evenly. Many listeners find brown noise gentler for sleep.
