What Is White Noise?
White noise is a steady sound that contains frequencies across the audible spectrum at equal intensity. Its consistent sound can help mask changes in background noise, such as traffic, conversations, barking dogs, or other sounds that may disturb sleep or relaxation.
Why Use White Noise for Sleep & Relaxation?
- Masks Background Noise: Helps make sudden or changing environmental sounds less noticeable.
- Creates a Consistent Sleep Environment: Provides a steady background sound that can make a noisy room feel more consistent at bedtime.
- Supports Relaxation: Creates a steady, neutral sound environment that can be useful when unwinding, reading, or taking a break.
How to Use White Noise for Sleep & Relaxation
Start the white noise generator when you are ready to sleep or relax and adjust the volume to a comfortable level. The sound should provide a gentle, consistent background rather than dominate the room.
Choose a 15, 25, 45, or 60-minute timer if you want the white noise to stop automatically, or select Continuous for uninterrupted playback. You can also enable the 60-second fade out for a gradual transition instead of an immediate stop.
