What is white noise?
White noise contains every frequency you can hear at equal strength, which is why it sounds like a steady hiss, similar to an untuned radio or TV. That even sound helps cover sudden noises that would otherwise catch your attention.
How to use it
Press Play and set the volume. Choose a sleep timer if you want the sound to stop on its own. Press Full screen for the moving picture, and Esc to exit.
