White noise is a steady hiss, a little like a radio between stations or a fan on high. It has no melody and no words, so there is nothing in it to follow, and some people find it masks distracting noise such as chatter or traffic.
All three are steady, random sounds; the difference is where the weight sits. White noise spreads its energy evenly across all frequencies, so it sounds bright and hissy. Pink noise turns the higher frequencies down, which makes it softer, closer to steady rain. Brown noise turns them down further still, leaving a deep, rumbling sound like a distant waterfall. Choose the colour in the Noise layer and switch at any time.
The noise is created in your browser as it plays rather than streamed from a recording, so it is continuous, with no loop point. It has its own volume slider and mixes with rain, fireplace, ocean and music. Start low and raise it only until the distractions fade.
Try it in a shared house, an open-plan office, a café or a library with a noisy corner. If the hiss feels sharp, move to pink. If you want something you barely notice, try brown. In a quieter room, a very low level may be all you need.
It depends on you. Some people find a steady sound helps mask distracting noise; others prefer silence. Try one session with it and one without, and keep whichever suits you.
White noise sounds bright, with as much high hiss as low rumble. Pink noise is softer and deeper, with the highs turned down.
It plays continuously while the tab is open and the device is awake. Audio may stop if the device sleeps or the browser suspends the tab, and a phone may pause it when the screen locks.
No. The noise is generated in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no account to create.
