Over the last 20 years, scientists have uncovered evidence that immersive sounds like white, brown and pink noise may help the brain to focus, sleep or relax — especially for people with A.D.H.D.

Read More »Welcome to the cult of brown noise, a sometimes hazily-defined category of neutral, dense sound that contains every frequency our ears can detect. Brown noise is like white noise but has a lower, deeper quality. It gained a fervent following over the summer, picking up speed in online A.D.H.D. communities, where people made videos of their reactions to hearing it for the first time. Many said it allowed their brains to feel calm, freed from an internal monologue. Some invited their viewers to try it too, and commenters chimed in, claiming that brown noise was not only a tool to help them focus, but could relieve stress and soothe them to sleep. On YouTube, eight-, 10- and 12-hour-long brown noise videos have been viewed millions of times; there are also curated Spotify playlists dedicated to the sound and specialized apps to play it. “It’s definitely a trend going on,” said Dr. Shivnaveen Bains, a child and adolescent psychiatrist at Cleveland Clinic Akron General who treats people with A.D.H.D. She added that many patients have come in asking about brown and white noise as of late, often pointing to posts they’ve seen on social media. Over the last 20 years, scientists have uncovered evidence that immersive sounds like white, brown and pink noise may help the brain to focus, sleep or relax — especially for people with A.D.H.D. But experts say it’s hard to delineate and categorize sound, so the differences in effect among the various colors are not always well established. Many sound similar or bleed into each other, said Daniel Berlau, a professor at the Regis University School of Pharmacy who has studied the impact of white noise on A.D.H.D. “It’s not as scientific as people would think,” he said. Turn up the volume to get a feel for how your own ears and brain react. Here’s what we know about how these noises might influence the ways we focus, sleep and relax. What is brown noise? The human ear only detects sounds within a certain range of frequencies — those that stimulate the cochlea, a spiral-shaped cavity swirling in our inner ears. When we play brown noise, we hear every frequency that the ear is able to detect at once, said Dr. Berlau. Listening to all of these frequencies at once creates an immersive, even smothering, experience that some people may find pleasant.
