White noise can be compared to its optical equivalent, white light. You know what white light is don’t you? It’s light that contains all the frequencies of the visible spectrum. A black object absorbs all light and has no light spectrum, while a white object reflects all light, and has a constant flat light spectrum. White noise consists of a flat noise spectrum over a range of audible frequencies.

To put it more simply, white noise is like the hissing sound you hear on a radio when there is no signal. It is also akin to the background noise radio astronomers hear from space when there is no specific signal, or like air hissing from a balloon. This combination of frequencies is very soothing and can be used for a variety of purposes, not the least of which is to promote sleep.

In fact, true white noise has a rather harsh sound, and the noise produced by ‘white noise’ machines is often called ‘pink noise’ but the name is academic. They are frequently use by tinnitus sufferers since the white noise tends to mask the ringing sound of tinnitus in the ears. Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a very irritating condition frequently without known cause or treatment, and is also a symptom of M?ni?re’s disease, a disorder of the inner ear that causes vertigo, and white noise provides a contrast between the ringing and an absence of any noise that reduces the apparent level of sound.

There is not a doubt that it is soothing to the human ear and is a proven sleep aid, especially for children. If your child finds it difficult to get off to sleep, or suffers from colic, a white noise sleep aid can be of great benefit – to children and parents! Such aids are available commercially as simple domestic appliances, and are also incorporated into radios and bedside clock alarms. They are very soothing to the ear.
