F.A.Q.S
What is sound masking?
Like white noise, sound masking uses ambient noise to mask natural, environmental sounds, which can actually make a space feel quieter.
Is white noise a proven sleep aid?
While white noise doesn’t guarantee better sleep, doctors say eliminating noise pollution and annoying sounds is a great way to achieve a healthier sleep cycle.
Is the background hissing from white noise harmful to your ears?
While it can be irritating, studies have shown that white noise doesn’t negatively affect the ears.
STAT: The difference between white, pink, and brown noise is the intensity of their frequencies. White noise has the highest, followed by pink noise, then brown noise. (source)
