YOUR LITTLE ESCAPE
White Noise for Sleep
White noise offers a steady, broad-frequency hiss without the rises and pauses of a nature recording. Use a low level to create a more even background for quiet work, reading or a bedtime routine. If the brighter texture is not for you, compare it with the softer pink or deeper brown noise.

About this sound
White noise has energy across a broad frequency range, which gives it a brighter, airier character than the other noise colors. Its even texture can make irregular room sounds less prominent, though how it feels depends on the surrounding noise, your speakers and the volume you choose. There is no single level that suits every room.
Nordic Hush creates the noise in your browser and loops the generated buffer, rather than downloading a recording. Start with a small amount and raise it only as much as feels comfortable. Rain adds a natural texture if you find white noise alone too plain. Pink and brown noise are useful alternatives to compare individually when you want less high-frequency hiss. You can keep your preferred noise in a larger mix, control its level separately and set a timer for the whole session.
Common uses
- Quiet focus

Frequently asked questions
Does white noise require an audio download?
No. Nordic Hush generates white noise with Web Audio in your browser. Ambient recordings such as Rain download only when selected.
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.
