Why it works
White noise works by masking other sounds that might distract or interrupt your focus or sleep. The consistent, soothing sounds can help regulate your nervous system, promoting a state of calm and relaxation. This makes it easier to concentrate, relax, or fall asleep, depending on your needs. Pink noise and brown noise offer similar benefits, with slight variations in their frequency ranges that might better suit individual preferences.
Possible Side Effects
Some users might initially find the sound distracting or unfamiliar. It is recommended to start with shorter durations and gradually increase as you become more accustomed to the noise.
Tips
Experiment with different types of noise to find the one that works best for you. Pink noise, for example, is often preferred for sleep, while white noise can be better for concentration. Use headphones for a more immersive experience, especially in noisy environments.
