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

[@ZachWoodGuitar]

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!

[@soundproofguide]

Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@kirkb.]

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! 🟥🍁🟥

[@deanburns5101]

Thanks for the time references. Great video, educational

he added timestamps ?

[@irenecantu5436]

Today was the 1st time I ever heard about the difference noises🎉

[@Gorboduc]

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

[@mariasmargiassi1983]

Thank you so very much, just heard of brown noise 2 nights ago and even though I don't like the sound of it, it has really helped me sleep and wanted to know how it works, will try pink tonight.

[@kckazcoll1]

thank you, I only discovered coloured noises recently. My current fave for sleeping is brown noise, so smooth and calming

[@boparks3204]

Thank you! Brown noise sounds like a airplane to me and makes me immediately fall asleep. White noise really makes me anxious and just irritable. This explains it. :-)

[@autumnpellegrine3749]

It’s amazing how different they are and how they make you feel. I always used white noise but I never found it soothing, I didn’t know the others existed but brown noise is so calming. It’s wild!

[@missyconklin2522]

I liked the Brown noise better. Thank you .

[@CarolynnScoffield]

Me too! I now use brown noise while I sleep. It helps me a lot!

[@ErynBarbero]

I had no idea there was any color noise until today!! This so so interesting.. so glad I found this!

[@wx7slc]

I used white and pink noise for the decades of my audio career. Now I know the definition for red/brown noise - 6dB/octave. Nice video and clear explanations. Also a very well done "choose for yourself" recommendation for which is best.

[@adamcjohns88]

I went from white to pink to brown, and now use brown every night to help me fall asleep and stay asleep. Just hoping I don’t become dependent on it!

[@soundproofguide]

Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@meganodonnell9575]

Thank you so much for posting this! I love falling asleep to brown noise - now I know why! :)

[@Maddog2016]

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]

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

[@magetaaaaaa]

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.

[@Maddog2016]

​@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.

[@asdf1234_.]

What's your favorite brown noise source (video or whatever) to listen to?

[@Maddog2016]

@@asdf1234_. We use a website called SimplyNoise on an old iPhone 3. I'm sure that there are sites with more options; however, we listen to it every night, and this site has only gone down once in the last 12 years.

[@your-evil-twin-sister4826]

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.

[@ashishhgoel]

Fantastic video 😊❤

[@ClaudiaRainge]

You just won the internet!

[@shadesofsylar]

Ive always been a light sleeper. One summer home from college, i had to work 3rd shift and discovered the fan sound. Since then, i have used white noise. But now i am really liking Pink noise.

[@barbarabarnett9600]

Red or pink noise works for me. The low register sounds are so calming! ❤️

[@magetaaaaaa]

I did not know about red noise and have just downloaded a sample to use tonight.

[@kckazcoll1]

@@magetaaaaaa red noise is another name for brown (brownian noise) :)

[@PaulShepherdHatsey-v1c]

Excellent on meeting my need for an informative video on the 3 types of colored sounds, well done. I was able to watch/listen at 1.5x pb and still, you were easy to listen to and learn from. Thank you! Keep making great videos!! 😊🎉

[@michaeldturner3270]

White and pink make my anxiety worse. Brown calms me. So cool. Thanks

[@DissonantSynth]

I've only heard of white, pink and brown noise in sound design. Thanks for this video!

[@soundproofguide]

You’re welcome! 😊

[@cosmicjoy6874]

Expanding beyond white noise 👌🏼

[@akosv96]

"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.

[@wrasbur1]

This presentation was very helpful.

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

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.

[@naomivanniekerk5271]

This information is very important you can't just go for feelings and don't understand what it does to and for the body. Thanks

[@fatoufalldiop9446]

White and pink noise gives me anxiety I don’t know why. Brown has been the best helping focus and sleep 💤

I'm sleeping with brown noise, it's the best for fall asleep fast, for me. It's dark, full, rich... Although, I found some dark pink noise without adds recently, it's good for sleep too.

I use noise to override birds dawn chorus from waking me up at first light, making this the only things that matters. So therefor it's the louder the noise the better no matter what color you use.

[@technofeeliak]

I've put rubber matts and wood on the floor with a layer of carpet. Fans are great to help me sleep.

[@soundproofguide]

I agree about fans. That's more of a brown noise I find since its a much lower tone than the hissing of white noise.

[@jackiecalle6757]

New to me and I immediately asked Alexa for brown noise to blunt the awful airplane noise over my home. It helped.

[@soundproofguide]

Happy to hear!!

[@Jeff-0621]

Now that’s new to me. That was educational. I’ll try and experiment with the three different noise. Thank you

[@soundproofguide]

You’re welcome! And let us all know which one works best for you! I find for me, the longer I listen to all three types of noise, brown noise always wins. I used to listen to white noise to help me focus but now I find it ear piercing compared to brown noise.

[@Jeff-0621]

@@soundproofguide definitely not a fan of white noise. I had to get use to it when I was younger. Pink noise helps me chill out, drowns out a lot of outside noise, but I can’t sleep with it. I like brown noise. It’s like being inside a very quite airplane.

[@serenityprojects7364]

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.

[@travismason3264]

Brown noise is smooth, relaxing.

[@MandySky]

Is it just me that pink noise makes me immediately feel anxious? 🤨 Brown noise along with added rain I’ve found to be the best.

[@rodgersandrodgers8191]

Interesting!

[@treblelatrice926]

[@andreseward]

love your videos in general but this one is my favorite so far, i have been a fan of brown noise for a while (thanks noisy neighbors) and have tried to explain its benefits to friends for a while, this will be a helpful tool. BUT on a different note, I am fascinated by your accent, I cannot place it, if I may ask, I would love to know where your accent comes from (I'm guessing french canadian or close to a french speaking region or upper great lakes area) :)
