In this article, we will be looking at what brown noise is and how it compares to other soundscapes when it comes to helping you fall asleep faster.
What Is Brown Noise & Does It Make You Fall Asleep Faster?
What Is Brown Noise?
Brown noise is simply the sounds that result from simultaneously combining all of the distinct perceptible frequencies of sound. Brown noise is more powerful at lower frequencies and gentler at higher frequencies. It is well recognised that certain frequencies have a positive impact on things like relaxation and better sleep.
It can help people who suffer from tinnitus as it blocks out any other external noises, and soothes the ringing in their ears. Brown noise also helps people with ADHD as it stimulates the part of their brain that is hypo-aroused and allows them to calm the activity and noise in their brains, aiding them in finding a state of relaxation.
Here are some different brown noise sounds:
- A waterfall
- Thunder rolling in the background
- The gentle crashing of waves and rumble of the ocean
- Heavy rainfall
Brown Noise VS White Noise
White noise is what most people think of when it comes to the most popular sounds to help you fall asleep. Its purpose is to mask any other sounds that may disturb your sleep and is a manufactured sound rather than the natural sounds which are emitted from boren noise.
White noise is common monotonous sounds like the static from a TV or radio, or a fan or hoover. Whereas brown noise recreates natural sounds, which have a soothing and relaxing effect on the mind, which is why it helps you to fall asleep quicker.
How Can Brown Noise Help You To Sleep
