whitenoise

whitenoise is exactly what it sounds like: 19 tracks of white, pink and brown noise for sleeping, focusing or tuning out the world. Most of it comes from Granular’s “Pink Noise For Sleep” series, with White Noise Spa’s “Soothing Deep Pink Noise,” a five-minute loopable pink noise track and Lübecker’s “6-bit Deep Panning” rounding it out.

There’s no melody and no beat, just steady, soothing sound that helps mask distractions, from a snoring partner to a noisy office or a busy household. It’s especially handy for babies and toddlers, light sleepers, studying and getting work done in an open-plan space. Pink noise is softer and deeper than classic white noise, so it’s easier on the ears over long stretches. Put it on low at bedtime, on a plane, in a hotel room or anywhere you need some peace and quiet. It’s the least musical playlist on this site, and somehow one of the most useful.
