You're thinking of the brown NOTE, which has not been proven to actually exist.

It goes something like this:

• White noise is a mixture of all frequencies audible to humans, which sounds quite high pitched. It's excellent for focus, against tinnitus and just for it not to be too quiet. Helps a lot of people sleep too.

• Pink noise is the same thing except tweaked to sound lower yet still "crisp". It's been shown to generally be even more effective for falling asleep than white noise.

• Brown noise is the same deal yet deeper still. It's been shown to be effective against anxiety and, at least in my own anecdotal experience, against anxiety-induced insomnia.

On top of all these benefits, a combination of all three is what headphones and earbuds use for active noise canceling, an effect you can also achieve to some degree yourself.

It's a lower frequency noise, some people enjoy it more. As a bad analogy, it's a bit more like hearing a "waterfall" (brown noise) than "wind" (white noise)

Yes, it's one of the Alarm Clock options

Not quite, that's the mythical 'brown note'.

Does it include the 2000s corporate landline phone sound? *shudder*

It used to be bad on the battery, but then it became a super big focus and now it's great.

If you're the kind of person that plays on their phone to fall asleep, get a 10' cable so it can be plugged in while you're doing whatever you do before sleeping.

That's the beauty of Foss. Fork it!

On one hand, yea, on the other, #worth. They were great overall - Sometimes you gotta take some losses and some wins.
