It ’s a collection of all the sound frequencies human being can hear play at the same volume , so extraneous sounds tend to blend right into it . White noise ’s democratic offshoots , brown dissonance and pink randomness , work similarly .

But if the whiny static of nonspecific tones is n’t exactly fun for your ears , substantial - life sound like a rainstorm or a box seat fan can also get the job done . Plus , not everyone listens to ambient disturbance to cloak their atmosphere — perchance it’stooquiet where you are , and you ’d rather it sound like yourlocal baror café . ( There ’s a reasonpeople favour that form of din over their own cacophonous offices . )
