Brown Noise

[Alix]

I tried to find a thread that had this information in it but was unsuccessful. What are your opinions on 'white noise', 'pink noise' or 'brown noise'? When my children were young I would put on a fan during the day when they were taking their naps to help block out the daytime sounds that might disturb them. Later they asked me if they could have the fan on at night when they were sleeping (I obliged).

Now, as I've gotten older I've noticed that when I'm researching or reading in general that I like to have 'brown noise' on to help me concentrate. In general, brown noise comes across more like the gentle rumble of ocean waves or the sound of strong wind if it was behind mostly sound-proof windows.

Just throwing this out there to see if any of you have an information on the same.

Thank you!

Yes, for many years now, my routine is to play a file with environmental sounds at bedtime. It is actually a file with binaural beats on it, and is like the sound of a brook or stream of water, inlaid with some bird sounds. Since I play it through a monaural source, (Roland keyboard amp) I don't think the binaural sounds are created, but just the sounds of the running water, and birds etc we find are very relaxing, and like you said, covers up other extraneous sounds that you might hear at night time.

In the summer, if we are running the fan or AC in the bedroom, then sometimes I forgo the environmental sounds, as the fan running pretty much achieves the same objective.

Sleeping with noise and in that case the fan is something new to me. I have been wondering if that could be affecting my quality of sleep. For the last few weeks I can't seem to remember my dreams... I don't know if it's related!
The same as closing doors, having a constant noise gives me the feeling of being disconnected with "all".

Now this is interesting. I have been running a fan at night to cover up the sidetone that I hear for the last thirty+ years. Originally it was only on low just to give me a little relief but as time continues the sidetone is getting louder and louder, I have turned it up to medium to relieve this noise.

In the summer, like today, it is on high to provide a breeze on these hot days.

But I do notice a dream cessation because of it. Normally the fan is pointed at me but in the winter, it is pointed low or away from me. I do have more dreams during the wintertime.

Is this because of the air flowing across me, or a field generated by the fan motor, or both, that make it less likely for the STS to meddle in my dreams? It is possible. I do still have dreams, but they are nothing like the ones I use to have before when I did not have a fan running.

A possible answer here. Take an 4D Orion STS soul. Like bigfoot and others, they are transdimensional entities. They can have their foot in both densities. This makes them wispy for lack of a better term. Having the fan on may have a way of dissipating these wispy souls so they cannot make good contact. This could be good or bad as I may be stopping good dreams also.

Here is another item. When I make the bed, I put the sheet on upside-down with the foot of the sheet at the head of the bed. When my wife makes the bed, she puts it the normal way. When the sheet has the top, the wider folded and hemmed area, at the top I have more dreams and when the foot is at the head, I have less dreams. Are the 4D STS targeting the head of the sleeping soul by attacking this end of the sheet knowing this is how the majority make their beds. This is still in debate, Haiku …

Intriguing...
I also have had a side-tone for some while. It's not enough to irritate me but, at night, I do notice it more; however, even if the air is flowing into my face, I still dream. This is food for thought; thank you.

I think having any new noise can affect our quality of sleep. I remember the time I moved into a lovely Victorian home; everything was wonderful - until then night came. You see, there was an airport many miles away but it used the route over our neighborhood as its 'night approach'. It took me weeks to not wake up every time an airliner went over.

I realize that that is quite a lot more noise than the average fan at night but I still eventually was able to overcome it. I think one of the reasons that I like the fan - for sleeping, and the brown noise - when I'm studying, is that it relaxes my mind so I can do what I am intending to do.

Je m'endors en général avec la radio depuis plusieurs années, cela me berce et ne dérange pas mon sommeil ni mes rêves, seule la musique peut me réveiller mais je me rendors aussi vite...

I usually fall asleep with the radio for several years, it lulls me and does not disturb my sleep or my dreams, only the music can wake me up but I also quickly...

Yes, I think it's all about 'frequency'.
