How White, Pink, and Brown Noise Can Help You Sleep & Focus

Рет қаралды 31,570

Welcome to this video where we will be exploring the differences between white, brown and pink noise, and how they can be used to help you sleep, focus, and manage your anxiety. If you live in an apartment with a noisy neighbor or just find it hard to soundproof a space, one of these noise types might be the solution for you.
In this video, we will take a deep dive into each noise type and explore their unique characteristics. White noise is the most commonly known noise and has a flat and even frequency spectrum, which is perfect for sound masking. Pink noise, on the other hand, has a more natural and less intense sound than white noise, making it a popular choice for sound masking, relaxation, and sleep. Brown noise, also known as red noise, has a deeper and more rumble-like quality, making it a popular choice for sound therapy and reducing stress and anxiety.
It is important to note that the best color choice for sleeping depends on individual preferences and needs, and some people may find that other types of noise, such as white or pink noise, are more helpful for reducing anxiety and promoting better sleep. So, which noise is the best for you? Watch this video to learn more and make an informed decision.

I use brown noise all the time, almost every night to go to sleep. I use white noise to stay focused for work, and keep those to sounds and what I use them for very separate. Nice to hear the science and explanation about the differences, nice video!

If you combine white, brown, and pink you get Neapolitan noise. 👌 I highly recommend brown to make subliminals btw.

For reference: 2:00 White Noise, 3:24 Pink Noise, 4:31 brown noise. I'd heard of pink noise before, but your explanation and samples helps a lot, thanks! Pink noise reminds me of the noise in an airplane. I had not heard of brown noise, but it reminds me of waterfalls at a distance. Keep up the great work! 🟥🍁🟥

I’ve been researching the different feelings I get went responding to *colored* noise. For me it was really simple, I just listened to the *color* for a second or two, and instinctively knew which sound was good,for me…I could actually feel my body response. When I heard the brown noise, I knew I had found the sound that best for me. Now I’m watching you explain the reason for my internal preference. Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting this info.

Very interesting. Had only heard of white noise before which I find stressful. I live in the boonies so not dealing with noisy neighbors, but do have 1 problem. My dog is afraid of thunderstorms and will freak out and climb on top of my head. As you can imagine it is hard to sleep with a 50 pound dog freaking out next to you and/or trying to smother you. I discovered Relax My Dog music works wonderfully to calm her down but I can't sleep with music playing. I am going to try playing brown noise next time she starts freaking out during a thunderstorm and she if it calms her down and I can sleep too.

Great video! My wife and I have used brown noise since 2012, back when we lived close to the flight path of the Las Vegas Airport. We found that brown noise helped to muffle/blend the noise of the jet engines just enough so that we didn't hear them while sleeping. We now live under the Life-Flight helicopter path on the east side of the valley (we can sure pick 'em). I run the brown noise through computer speakers with a small subwoofer. I play it loud enough to help drown out most of the helicopters. I learned about pink noise a few months ago, but haven't experimented with it yet.

@soundproofguide Жыл бұрын

You certainly know how to pick them is right! I used to live under a flight path about 20 years ago. I wish I knew about brown noise back then! Lol

Does the subwoofer help for these types of sound files? I have a pair of bookshelf speakers and have been thinking about getting a sub.

@The Nightmare The subwoofer gives more resonance, filling the room. My wife describes it as "3-dimensional sound" compared to regular speakers. We have a Logitech 2.1 speaker system (model Z537) which has a small sub and it's plenty loud for us.

"Sometimes you just can't soundproof enough (...), by introducing one these noises into your life might make you not go completely insane." Spot on. It helped me so much with being overly nervous and neurotic from noise. It's funny how noise helps with noise. For me brown noise was perfect.

Yes brown noise if you go for a ride while someone else is driving and you are the kind of person that falls asleep quickly when there’s no music or anything and pretty much just the sound of the car on the road which is exactly how I am then brown noise will work amazing for you because it just sounds like you’re in a space shuttle up in spaceor on an airplane when there’s no other noise it’s just so soothing and it doesn’t sound like you lost signal on your TV like white noise does it’s very high-pitched. It seems like to me, so it’s hard for me to actually fall asleep, but brown noise just immediately put me to sleep.
