2 . Want to have a better sleep? You may just need more noise. While that may sound strange, it’s scientifically proven that certain types of noise can help you get some sleep. Think of it this way: When you’re lying in bed, every single noise—from the creak of the bed to a whistle in your partner’s nose—may keep you awake. But some types of noise, specifically white, pink and Brown noise, can mask (掩饰) these sounds, creating a more harmonious background.

White noise contains sounds of all frequencies that humans can hear, but it comes across (使产生的……印象) as a high-pitched buzz (声调高的嗡嗡声). That’s because of the way your ears hear it. Basically, your brain strengthens sounds in higher pitch frequencies. So while you may be hearing sounds from a variety of frequencies, the highest ones tend to drown (淹没) the lower pitched notes.

Pink noise takes the human tendency to hear only some frequencies into account and balances out the noise so that sounds of all frequencies are heard equally The higher the frequency, the more its volume is weakened. To your ears, the sound is deeper and softer than white noise.

In a study at China’s Peking University, researchers found that when participants were exposed to either pink noise or no noise during nighttime sleep and naps, 75% reported more restful sleep with the pink noise. Brain activity monitors proved this, showing that participants had 23% more restful brain activity at night with pink noise and 45% more restful sleep during naps.

Brown noise takes this concept to the next level, further weakening higher frequency noise to produce an even deeper and richer sound. It’s not named after the color brown but rather after the botanist Robert Brown, who in the 1800s discovered random particle motion (随机粒子运动). Brown noise is similar to random particle motion for the changes in sound signals from one moment to the next happen randomly.

When it comes right down to it, the color of noise that will help you sleep most soundly is the one you like best. While pink noise and Brown noise are deeper and more balanced than white noise, your personal sleep preferences will dictate which one gives you the best sleep.
