Green noise vs brown noise

Admittedly, brown noise is pretty similar to white noise. However, some people think it sounds deeper and muddier.

“Brown noise is a low-frequency sound produced by the same process that causes Brownian motion (random particle motion),” Martin Seele, CEO of Mattress Next Day previously told us at Stylist. He added, “Typical sounds featured in brown noise would be low, rumbly noises, such as thunder, strong winds, the ocean, strong river currents, heavy rain or the hum of an aeroplane.”

Green noise vs pink noise

Pink noise is also slightly lower than white noise, although it may not sound quite as low and ominous as brown noise.

“Green noise shares similarities with pink noise but is more specifically aligned with natural, environmental sounds,” says Elyse Wagner. “Both green and pink noise are used to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality, but green noise may be more appealing to those who find nature sounds particularly soothing.”
