What is white noise?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, what exactly is white noise? Different noise frequencies make up a sound spectrum, and all these frequencies together make white noise. White noise is that crackling, static-like TV interference sound that allows outside, or disturbing noise to be muffled or buffered, so that it isn\u2019t so jarring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In humans, it\u2019s often suggested that people listen to white noise to help them sleep. The random, but constant, noise means you get less disturbed by other external noises (hello dripping tap or ticking clock!) and can focus on the white noise instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tend to lump together various colors of noise frequencies and call them all white noise, so when you read white noise, do realize we\u2019re talking about a spectrum of noises in this article. In actual fact there are several colors of sound or noise, and each color sounds different and will work best at masking or muffling certain noises or frequencies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
