What brown noise is
Brown noise is weighted toward low pitches, so it sounds like a distant waterfall or the inside of an aircraft cabin. It is softer on the ear than white noise, which has the same energy at every pitch and can sound like a hiss.
Using it
People use brown noise to cover distractions while working and to settle at night. Keep it at a comfortable level, no louder than quiet conversation, especially through headphones. Research on noise for sleep and focus is mixed, so trust your own experience of whether it helps.
