How to Generate Grey Noise in 3 Steps with Tone Generator
Getting a good night’s sleep is much harder than you think. Whether it’s a snoring partner, the neighbour's car alarm going off, or the cat’s late-night adventures around the house, the slightest disruption to silence when you’re lying in bed can be frustrating. Getting rid of these background sounds is pretty much an impossible challenge but what if there was a way to mask these unpleasant noises with more pleasant ambient noises or static sounds?
Soothing grey noise, a signal or process with a frequency spectrum can help mask the distracting sounds and help you sleep better, relax better, concrete better or provide relief from tinnitus. Rather than having to spend a lot of money on expensive sound machines, using an easy-to-use software like Tone Generator can help you create a grey noise audio file along with other colored noise with different frequencies and intensities.
