mjmooney Posted July 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) 16 minutes ago, TheAuthority said: What's the difference between pink noise & white noise? Quote Pink noise or 1⁄f noise is a signal or process with a frequency spectrum such that the power spectral density (energy or power per frequency interval) is inversely proportional to the frequency of the signal. Pink noise is the most common signal in biological systems.In pink noise, each octave (halving/doubling in frequency) carries an equal amount of noise energy. The name arises from the pink appearance of visible light with this power spectrum. This is in contrast with white noise which has equal intensity per frequency interval. Wiki No, I don't understand it, either. Edited July 4, 2019 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I sleep well with background noise, like a fan in the background. Having silence sounds/feels weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I sleep so well with a fan going, I'd happily have it on during winter. If no fan, I've got my iPod Classic that is entirely and exclusively comprised of ambient acts. Also prefer absolute pitch black (we had shutter blinds outside the RAF blocks we grew up in). Wife on the other hand hates the dark, wants absolute silence and the bedroom door wide open (presumably for a quick getaway if she ever reassesses her life choices). The door open was the toughest one to get used to, freaks me out. I mean FFS, that's how the Babadook gets you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s become an addiction to the point where I don’t think I could fall asleep, or at the very least take forever to fall asleep, without it. Which sounds bad, but before podcasts I would take forever to fall asleep anyway. It’s been much better since I discovered I could listen to other people’s thoughts rather than my own.

I can sleep with nothing playing. But it feels weird. And definitely takes me longer. Luckily my other half has adjusted to my addiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 White Noise Lite - Stream Water Flowing is my go to sound to help me drift off. Otherwise its earplugs if I don't need an alarm the next morning. Haven't had a single night where I've not used the app or used the earplugs for years now.

bobzy Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I wonder if this is all linked to our (modern times) inability to switch off completely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it’s the opposite. I struggle to switch off in silence. I think about work and stresses in my life when I’m left with my own thoughts. With a podcast on I don’t think about anything else and I’m usually asleep in seconds. For me it actually makes me switch off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted July 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 4, 2019 I don't get this listening to podcasts thing at all. Either it's interesting, in which case I'll want to listen to it, and not fall asleep and miss something. Or it isn't, and will annoy me. Only minimalist music has any chance of working. Can't be doing with speech. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be doing with speech. I’ll absolutely want to listen to it. But it still sends me straight to sleep. I’ll usually only hear the first couple of minutes I just then listen to it again the next day on the way to work and hear the whole thing.
