Reply to comment by ImaginaryRoads in Anybody else hear the burnouts all night long? by douglas_in_philly

My trick is to use my Amazon Echo Dot for the same thing. I just say, “Alexa, ask Sleep Sounds to start brown noise.” (Yes “brown” noise—it’s a bit lower in tone, and works best for me.)

Actually, just saying, “Alexa, start brown noise.” works, as well.

With a single set range of noise filter, I worry about starting to lose hearing in that range. By using a combination of noises, most of them random, I reduce the overall sound level and hopefully reduce my risk of hearing loss.

Are you wearing earbuds/headphones when you’re listening to the white noise? I don’t, and personally I feel that the noise is ambient enough that it’s not going to cause any problems. But to each their own.
