You've heard of White Noise (like a fan or static TV). It's great for masking sound. But for many people, it's too high-pitched and "hissy."

Enter Brown Noise.

What is Brown Noise?

While White Noise spreads energy equally across all frequencies, Brown Noise (or Red Noise) effectively lowers the volume of high frequencies. It sounds more like:

  • A distant waterfall.
  • Heavy rain on a roof.
  • A low rumble of thunder.

This deeper quality makes it much more soothing for the ADHD brain and for calming anxiety.

You don't need a $15/month subscription to Calm or Headspace to get high-quality soundscapes. We've embedded a pure Brown Noise loop right here.

Why It Helps You Sleep

  1. Sound Masking: It creates a "sound blanket" that covers up sudden noises like a car door slamming or a dog barking, which are what actually wake you up.
  2. Brain Quieting: The consistent, low frequency gives your brain something non-stimulating to focus on, preventing "racing thoughts."

How to Use It

  • Volume: Keep it low. It shouldn't be loud; it should blend into the background.
  • Loop: This player loops automatically.
  • Screen Off: This website is optimized to keep playing even if you switch tabs (on desktop).

Note: If you have serious insomnia, always consult a doctor. But for general restlessness, this rumble might be the free cure you've been looking for.
