white noise

best thing that helped me memorise and focus

I'm more of a brown noise fellow. Deep red is not too bad either.

If I'm reading, leaves falling in the forest with a gentle breeze is good too.

I hate white noise though because it is high-pitched. And rain noise sounds like bacon frying---it's too high-pitched also.

I used to seek out places with lots of people talking in order to study and read sometimes if I had trouble focusing in silence.
But other times I needed silence/minimal noise. Depends on the mood & context.

Sometimes at night, I listen to talk down, waves, or thunderstorms. Caroline Mcready is my favorite talk-down guide. Head Space has some good storytelling/talk-down audio as well.

I never knew any of this stuff existed until a couple of years ago when I was in the ICU. I found it in order to drown out the constant beeping of monitors, humming of oxygen, and chatter of nurses in the hallway.

The sound crew used to run a pink noise generator when eq-ing the room prior to sound check. I guess it helped. All I knew to do was plug in, tune up, and wail. “Jesus just left Chicago, and he’s bound for New Orleans. Yea—-ah...”
The white noise does affect me negatively, and I hate the rain too. However, the sound of bacon frying is like an out of body experience.

For me, the smell of bacon frying is more pleasant than the sound.

Deep-pitched sounds tend to soothe my brain.

@HerkyHawkeye, I can see Pink or Red noise as naturalizing the sound booth or studio or room you're performing in. But I think it still depends on the person and their preferences.

I love hearing when someone hates bacon. More for me!

In the early days of talkies, audiences would actually let out a laugh at the sight/sound of bacon frying in a skillet. :)

Probably because the sizzling started before those slabs of yummy greatness hit the pan.

But these days, 10 hours of bliss:
