I have started listening to random American city council meetings lately for white noise. Since they’re all bureaucratic-flavored boredom anyway.

Lately my external HDD making old school hard drive clicky groans as it downloads overnight. I had forgotten computers used to sound like this until I bought it, it’s nostalgic and soothing.

B17 bomber engine drone, gets me into the zone in no time. (Youtube > dl, cut to 2hr MP3).
Mixed that with a 2 hr refrigerator drone and it is perfect.ADHD runs in parts of the family, and it’s like a “mental rinsing agent” after paying the old ADHD tax.
I gave myself tinnitus
It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Is that bit the reason people listen to white noise? Seems counter intuitive
Tinnitus is a constant whine. Other actual noise helps prevent having to constantly be thinking and feeling the whine because the “white noise” has your ear dealing with other things.
It isn’t the reason everyone listens to white noise but people with Tinnitus could help themselves go less crazy if they listen to white noise.
It was recently discovered that the reason tinnitus is a thing is not psychological at all, it’s a degeneration/damage of the nerve endings in the ear. So since they found that, don’t give up hope that they’ll find a treatment for it.
It was a joke.
Either SoX running in Termux on my phone with:
play -n synth brownnoise synth pinknoise mix synth 0 0 0 10 10 40 trapezium amod 0.1 30
(originally yoinked from I can’t remember who, in the early days of Mastodon)
or more recently, a 10-hour loop of the Sardukar chant from Dune. It’s right about the right frequency to block a lot of the noise around here and it isn’t anything intelligible for my brain to keep me awake thinking about.
If I just want some noise-blocking sound while I’m trying to code or something then myNoise has a vast array of sound generators. It was well worth kicking them $5 a while back.
I have chronic tinnitus. My ears generate white noise for me without asking.

I like listening to crickets or cicadas when I’m falling asleep. Helps drown out my tinnitus
If you have an actual Radio, find an AM station that is just static. This works quite well.
Or just a pop country station. All the white noise you could ever need.
Yeah but then you get a Darius Rucker song and have to start all over.
In my country, literally all AM stations are just static. We only have FM over here.
So much choice for white noise over here. Noice. (Rhyme time baby)
I found if I listed to upbeat music without lyrics I can generally focus better. LoFi Girl is great for this, and so are video games sound tracks.

Modular synthesizer. Modulating the white noise generator with a slow LFO to create a nice ocean wave background kinda sound.
somafm.com has some good streams.
Old Kitbogas
He’s still a superstar and the leader in his field, but it’s mostly background noise for the uncut versions I’m listening to for the fourth time

I didn’t want to enjoy this but it’s somehow so relaxing
