I recently started working to brown noise.

On and off over the last few years, I'd used services like Noisli and a soft murmur.

I preferred A Soft Murmur for how you could mix and match noises, turn up the dial on one and turn down the dial on another -- having a fire crackling slightly in the background balanced nicely with the monotonous hum of the wind and the ever so slightly more percussive wave sounds.

Plus it was thematically exciting to pit fire and water together digitally without either of them knowing.

It's the little things.

The services had fallen out of favor as I'd gotten a better grip on my own mental chatter - maybe the daily meditation helped.

But for certain situations where I know there are going to be distractions (when certain events are going on at the office, say), or when I know I'll need to buckle down especially and shut off all external stimuli (when a big deadline is approaching, for example) - I've been using this "Super Deep Brown Noise."

And I have been loving it. It just helps get my brain in the zone for creating.

A fascinating thing that is, wouldn't you say?
