I have started listening to random American city council meetings lately for white noise. Since they’re all bureaucratic-flavored boredom anyway.

Ain’t that the one that makes you shit yaself?
You’re thinking of the brown NOTE, which has not been proven to actually exist.
It goes something like this:
White noise is a mixture of all frequencies audible to humans, which sounds quite high pitched. It’s excellent for focus, against tinnitus and just for it not to be too quiet. Helps a lot of people sleep too.
Pink noise is the same thing except tweaked to sound lower yet still “crisp”. It’s been shown to generally be even more effective for falling asleep than white noise.
Brown noise is the same deal yet deeper still. It’s been shown to be effective against anxiety and, at least in my own anecdotal experience, against anxiety-induced insomnia.
On top of all these benefits, a combination of all three is what headphones and earbuds use for active noise canceling, an effect you can also achieve to some degree yourself.
It’s a lower frequency noise, some people enjoy it more. As a bad analogy, it’s a bit more like hearing a “waterfall” (brown noise) than “wind” (white noise)
I for one prefer brown noise. Could be a result of me working on a ship for a long while. I always found the deep engine hum with the sea against my porthole to be very soothing. Plus, the rocking motion didn’t exactly hurt either.
Not quite, that’s the mythical ‘brown note’.
Yes, it’s one of the Alarm Clock options
It certainly was a little under a month ago when I had Legionaire’s! 😬
What were the French doing to your bowels?
Nothing good, that’s for sure!
