YOUR LITTLE ESCAPE
Brown Noise for Sleep
Brown noise has a deep, even character with more emphasis on lower frequencies than white or pink noise. It offers a simple background without the changing details of a weather recording. Start quietly for reading, focus or a bedtime routine, and add rain if you prefer a little natural movement.

About this sound
The lower-frequency emphasis gives brown noise a rounded, rumbling quality. Compared with white noise, it has less bright hiss; compared with pink noise, it feels weighted further toward the low end. These are differences in sound character, so the most useful choice is the one you find comfortable in your own space.
Nordic Hush generates this noise in your browser and repeats the resulting buffer continuously. It does not need to download an MP3 for the noise layer. Use it alone when you want a relatively even background for reading or a desk task. Add rain for a more varied surface, keeping the brown noise low underneath. Speakers and headphones reproduce low frequencies differently, so the same mix may sound different on another device. Adjust the level by listening, and use the timer if you want a defined end to the session.
Common uses
- Quiet focus

Frequently asked questions
How does brown noise compare with pink noise?
Brown noise emphasizes the low end more strongly. Pink noise has a lighter balance, while white noise sounds brighter. Try each at a comfortable level.
Does this sound play continuously?
Yes. Noise is generated in your browser and its buffer repeats until you pause, remove it or the sleep timer ends.
Can I use a sleep timer?
Choose 15, 30, 60 or 120 minutes. All active sounds fade during the final 30 seconds. Background and locked-screen playback depend on your browser and device.
Does opening this page start audio?
No. A fresh visit waits for you to press play. If your mix is already playing, it continues as you navigate between Nordic Hush pages.
