Pink noise

Pink noise sits between brown and white noise: softer than white, brighter than brown. It is a common choice for sleep and for masking tinnitus. Try it at a low volume and keep it if it feels comfortable.

Common questions

Is pink noise better than brown or white noise?

There is no single best. Pink noise sits between the two: softer than white, brighter than brown. Try each at a low volume and keep the one that feels most comfortable.

Can I sleep with pink noise playing all night?

Many people do. Use a low volume, and a speaker instead of earbuds if you can.
