Pink Noise is Better

 



If you work shifts or just have trouble falling asleep, you may have been using some kind of noise producing device for years. I had tried three over the decades before I purchased a Google Home Assistant and began using that exclusively for the many and varied sounds it can produce. Somewhere along the way, I had settled on "rain sounds" as my favorite. Now I've found something better.


Pink noise - what is it? From Yogasleep: In white noise, the power is constant, but in pink noise, as the numbers get bigger, the difference in power becomes smaller, so the higher-pitched sounds are softer. Because the lower frequencies are louder than the higher frequencies in pink noise, it sounds less abrasive and leads to a better night's sleep.


So the next time you can't sleep, give pink noise a try. There's no subscription, which makes it a win-win for a good night.
