How Different Noise Colors Work
| Noise Color | Frequency Profile | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| White | Equal energy all frequencies | Masking high-pitched sounds (voices, traffic) |
| Pink | More bass, balanced | Deep sleep enhancement, general relaxation |
| Brown | Heavy bass, rumbling | Those who find white noise harsh, focus/ADHD |
| Green | Mid-range focused | Natural sound lovers, anxiety relief |
The Science of Sound Masking
Sound masking works by adding a consistent background sound that covers up disruptive noises. Rather than blocking sound (like earplugs), it makes sudden noises less noticeable by reducing the contrast between silence and disturbance.
Why "Noise Colors" Matter
Different noise colors have different frequency distributions. This matters because our ears are more sensitive to certain frequencies, and different types of environmental noise occupy different frequency ranges. Matching the right noise color to your specific situation produces better results.
Research-Backed Benefits
- Pink noise has been shown to enhance deep sleep and memory consolidation in multiple studies
- White noise is effective for masking speech and high-frequency sounds
- Brown noise is increasingly popular for focus and concentration, particularly among those with ADHD
- Consistent background sound reduces the number of times sleepers wake during the night
