Which sound should I choose?

• White noise is bright and hissy, like TV static. It’s best for covering loud or high-pitched sounds.
• Pink noise is softer and more balanced. Many people find it more relaxing than white noise.
• Brown noise is deep and rumbly, great for covering low sounds like traffic or a neighbor’s TV.
• Steady rain and box fan are familiar, comforting background sounds.

Tips for sleeping with background noise

• Keep it quiet. The sound should be just loud enough to mask other noises. Loud sound for hours can harm your hearing.
• Use the timer if you only need help falling asleep. The sound fades out gently.
• Place your device across the room rather than right next to your head.
• For babies, keep any sound source well away from the crib and at a low volume, and ask your pediatrician if you have questions.
