I'm not looking for ocean sounds or storms or any specific noises, just a basic gentle whirrrrrring sound. I think some new people moved in upstairs because I keep hearing footsteps at 6:30AM every weekday morning when I never have before.

Any suggestions?

Why's it got to be white?!

Jokes aside, there are white noise apps. No idea if they work, haven't used any of them, but I'm sure there are sites doing comparisons between the different ones.

Yeah the problem is apps just aren't the same. These machines I'm picturing are specifically designed to fill the room, whereas you can tell via a cell phone or laptop speakers or TV or whatever exactly where the sound is coming from

A perfect machine is something you can place out of the way in the corner but have the whirring sound like it could come from anywhere in the room

I guess I'm saying it's less about the noise and more about where the noise is coming from. Youtube obviously has plenty of things like this, but playing them through a cell phone or laptop speakers wouldn't get the job done.

I just had a sick thought

Someone could make a 10 hour video like this but make some really loud horror noises and/or porn sounds like at the five hour mark to fuck with people

Tons of phone apps that only cost a dollar or two with customisable programs and timers etc built in.

Oh.

No apps?

Then yeah, like the poster above me mentioned, just get a fan.

YouTube + a good Bluetooth soundbar = heaven.

I recently got a decent soundbar with "simulated surround" and when I play rain sounds on it, it sounds fucking real.

Hmmm this isn't a bad idea. How much for a good soundbar?

I'll need one that works with my TV though as well, seems like I wouldn't be doing myself justice if I didn't get one that worked with both. Are there USB ones as well, or is bluetooth generally going to have better quality sounds? (or is there no difference)

I'll occasionally listen to podcasts or commentary tracks if I have a hard time sleeping. The issue is the content ends up affecting my dreams (usually not in a good way). This could be interesting if I could actually find something to listen too that made my dreams more enjoyable, but that hasn't happened yet.

If you fall asleep listening to porn audio, would it trigger a sex dream? That'd be pretty neat to be able to control


That's the thing -- porn audio would probably keep me up.

you just need to put a delay on it so it starts playing like 2-3 hours after you fall asleep obviously
