ABOUT WHITE NOISE
White noise is a type of noise that is produced by combining sounds of all different frequencies together. If you took all of the imaginable tones that a human can hear and combined them together, you would have white noise.
The word "white" is used to describe this type of noise because of the way white light (yep light, not sound) works. White light is light that is made up of all of the different colors (frequencies) of light combined together. In the same way, white noise is a combination of all of the different frequencies of sound.
Since white noise contains all frequencies, it is frequently used to mask or hide other sounds. Up until the power of Alexa and smart speakers, you may have been using an oscillating fan to mask other sounds such as voices or music. This is because fans sound relatively similar to white noise.
WHITE NOISE FOR BABIES
Many people use white noise to help their babies fall asleep. Parents often find the soothing sound of white noise helps block unwanted abrupt sounds helping their babies peacefully sleep. It is also said that white noise replicates the sound of a mother's womb comforting a baby.
