You have the option of filling your baby’s nursery or your bedroom with sounds associated with the ocean or from deep in a tropical rain forest. Taking vacations for the luxury of experiencing these sounds first hand can be very expensive, but there are alternatives that offer the peaceful sounds of nature at a very cheap price.
WHAT IS WHITE NOISE
White noise is a combination of all 20,000 tones. Put them all together, play them at the same time and you will have created white noise. More important is the benefit of white noise sounds which is to mask unwanted sounds like voices, traffic, your bed partner’s snoring or the kid next door playing his bass guitar way too loud. These are all good reasons to read reviews and comparison shop for a white noise machine.
