One of the biggest issues that employees encounter in their work environment is noise. Listening to white noise has various applications but it is especially helpful in certain situations and for certain type of people or tasks. It’s like sitting in a cafè if there are just a few people you might eventually be able to hear their conversations, but if the cafè gets more crowded, all the conversations just become background noise. However, if you’re listening to white noise, any additional noise just adds up to all the other noises and you won’t notice it. You will immediately hear a big truck passing by or a loud noise from your neighbor. Just imagine you’re in a silent room at night. Since white noise contains all the different frequencies it has the capability to mask other sounds. White noise can also be produced digitally or it can come in form of so called white noise machines, which are physical devices that produce white noise. White noise is similar to the sound of the rain, a rumbling waterfall, rustling leaves, a fan or a static TV. The name white noise comes from the analogy to white light, which contains the whole spectrum of colors of light.
