Pink noise is a type of sound that has been shown to help people sleep better. Pink noise, like white and brown noise, has a random distribution of sound energy across all pitches, but it has a different energy balance at each frequency than those other types of noise. Pink noise emphasises lower frequencies, which are closer to those of human voice, and may be more soothing to hear.

Pink noise is said to increase the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, and it can also help people fall and stay asleep by relaxing the body and mind. and peace.

Pink noise is also said to help with sleep continuity and overall sleep quality by masking background noise and creating a more consistent sound environment. This allows the brain to relax and detach from the sounds around you, making it easier to fall and stay asleep.

Although people's preferences for pink noise vary, it has been shown to be more effective than white noise for certain groups of people, such as older adults who suffer from sleep disorders.

Simply find a calm, safe and quiet place to lay down your head, press play and enjoy your rest.
