Finding tranquility in the city: how green noise promotes sleep and reduces stress

Green noise is beneficial for those who have trouble sleeping or concentrating. It's also useful for those seeking stress relief, especially in noisy environments, or those who experience tinnitus.

Listening to green noise before bedtime creates a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere, contributing to a healthier sleep onset and helping maintain deep sleep. It masks potentially disruptive sounds, soothing the nervous system, and ultimately reducing stress and anxiety levels.

Green noise is also less distracting compared to common environmental sounds. It is often recommended not just before sleep, but also during work for its ability to create a uniform sound backdrop that aids focus on tasks, increasing work efficiency.

Green noise, just like other variants of noise, works because our brains are designed to overlook monotonous sounds. Providing such a backdrop empowers the brain to either relax or focus on other stimuli.

It's also noteworthy to mention that nature sounds are generally associated with positive experiences, providing a sense of pleasure and tranquility.

Green noise might not be suitable for everyone.

Catering to personal needs, one might seek other types of noise like pink noise (more calming), gray noise (more uniform), brown noise (with deeper, natural sounds like a waterfall), or white noise (ambience created by fans, air-conditioners, and dryers).

Testing out different types of noise can be fruitful. The right choice of noise could potentially make sleep or concentration issues disappear as if by magic.
