Why Sleep Sounds Work

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best sounds for sleep?
The best sleep sounds vary by person, but brown noise, rain sounds, and ocean waves are consistently popular. Brown noise is especially effective because its deep frequencies mask common sleep disturbances like traffic and HVAC systems.
Should I use a sleep timer?
Using a sleep timer is a personal choice. Some people prefer sounds all night for consistent masking. Others find that 30-60 minutes is enough to fall asleep. Experiment to find what works best for you.
Is it okay to sleep with sounds all night?
At moderate volumes, sleeping with ambient sounds all night is generally safe. Keep the volume comfortable - you shouldn't need to raise your voice to talk over it.
