AudioNoise

The AudioNoise application can generate different types of noise: white, pink, and so-called physiological noise.

With AudioNoise you can take advantage of the so-called masking effect: by presenting a low level broadband noise to the ear it is possible to effectively block other (possibly disturbing) sounds.

The point is that a broaband noise is much less disturbing than, say, a high pitched tone, because the brain doesn't interpret it as important information. In fact, after listening to broadband noise for 10-15 minutes you won't even notice it any more unless it's fairly loud.

Here are some key features of "AudioNoise":

￭ Cube farm background - focus on your work again ￭ Tinnitus masking (Noiser) ￭ Baby soothing ￭ Transfer function measurements (e.g. of your desktop speakers) ￭ Training background for cochlear-implant patients
