What’s White Noise Anyway?
White noise, in signal processing, describes a random signal that produces different frequencies while maintaining it’s intensity. Audibly, white noise can be heard on the radio or over the telephone, where it’s also known as “static“.
While it is usually used in music to test the acoustics of a venue, white noise has additional, beneficial effects on us. It’s used, for example, to mask the effects of Tinnitus or as background noise to help people focus, relax or sleep. White noise is even said to help children with ADHD since studies have shown that it increases their concentration and performance.
