WHITE NOISE

What is White Noise?
White noise is produced by combining sounds of all the frequencies the human ear can hear. The term “white” noise is used because of its similarity to “white light”. White light uses all the colors in visible spectrum just as white noise uses all the frequencies in our hearing spectrum.

How does white noise work?
Because white noise sound conditioners use all the frequencies it is used to mask other sounds - the brain can not pick out the distracting sound. When white noise is added to an environment, intruding speech, barking dogs, snoring spouse, and other noises are less distracting.

Many of us have problems sleeping when we travel due to noisy hotel rooms, unfamiliar sounds, or a host of other distractions making it difficult to sleep at night. Using white noise to reduce the negative effects of these distractions can make the difference between a good sleep or not.

As the open office concept has grown so has the problems associated with noisy distractions lessening worker performance. Additionally, the use of white noise sound conditioners in hallways and waiting rooms ensures the confidentiality of private conversations.

How do I select a white noise sound conditioner?
Select a quality brand name that has a long track record in the sound conditioning market. The better machines synthesize the sound without a looping effect.
