The different sounds
White noise has equal energy at every pitch, a bright, hissing sound like static.
Pink noise is softer, with more low pitches. It sounds like steady rainfall or wind.
Brown noise is deeper still, a low rumble like a strong waterfall or distant thunder.
Rain, fan and ocean are made from the same noise, shaped to sound like those things.
Questions
What is white noise used for?
People play steady background noise to cover distracting sounds such as traffic, voices or a noisy neighbour, while studying, working or trying to sleep. Many find it helps them concentrate, though it affects everyone differently.
Which is best for studying or sleeping?
There is no single best one. Brown and pink noise are often chosen for focus and sleep because they sound less harsh than white noise. Try the Focus and Sleep presets and see which you prefer.
Does it work offline, and does it use a lot of data?
The sounds are generated in your browser as you listen, so there is nothing to download. Once the page has loaded, the sound keeps playing without using more data.
Is there an off timer?
Yes. Choose 15 minutes up to 2 hours under "Stop after". The sound fades out and stops at the end.
