more general nature. Our white noise information is provided to help you sleep and
relax better and our connections with other sites will hopefully provide you with new

Because white noise contains all frequencies, it is commonly used to mask other
sounds. If you are in a hotel and voices from the room next-door are leaking into
your room, you might turn on a fan to drown out the voices. The fan produces a
good approximation of white noise. How does this "white" sound work and why does it
mask out other noise?

Here is how to think about white noise. Let's say two people are talking at the same
time. Your brain can normally pick out one of the two voices and actually listen to it
and understand it. If three people are talking simultaneously, your brain can
probably still pick out one voice. However, if 100 people are talking simultaneously,
there is no way that your brain can pick out one voice. It turns out that 100 people
talking together sounds a lot like white noise. So when you turn on a fan to create
white noise, you are essentially creating a source of 100 voices. The voice next-door
makes it 101 voices, and your brain can't pick it out anymore. One thing to keep in
mind when using white noise is that more is not always better - it is usually best to
use just enough to help mask the offending noise, not completely overwhelm it.
