Overview

VIDEO: Andrew Huberman says people with ADHD have opposite reactions to music. Normals are better off listening between bouts of work.

According to a peer-reviewed study out of the University of Chicago, “A moderate level of ambient noise is conducive to creative cognition.” So being a bit distracted helps ADHD people be more creative.

Types of “Noise”

“White Noise” is a catch-all phrase for ambient sounds that help you concentrate or relax.

The types of ambient/background “white noise”:

A). Continuous tones of sound.

B). Ambient sounds such as what you hear in a cafeteria.

C). Music without lyrics (electronic or orchestral)

How to play the sounds

Offline Listening

PROTIP: I play ambiant noise/music from an offline app or play downloaded albums.

This not only avoids sucking network bandwidth from others or using data minutes on your mobile plan, this also eliminates delays when network is not available.

PROTIP: Subscription removes annoying distracting ads.

  • $19/month YouTube Premium/Music subscription allows me to download videos to my phone for offline listening from my own Library on my iPhone mobile app.

  • Amazon Music is a separate app and included in a $179/year “Amazon Prime” subscription.

Headpohones

PROTIP: High quality high-definition headphones provide cleaner, clearer deep bi-aurial tones. I prefer noise-cancelling ones. I’ve enjoyed Sony WH-1000MX3,4,5 for $350 each, because I lose them or break them. The Bose QC35ii are also excellent but more expensive.

PROTIP: I wear both in-ear and over-the-ear headphones – to drown out sounds imposed by others, such as from TVs and music at hotels.

Use the mixer to select your mix of frequencies at https://mynoise.net/noiseMachines.php, which has amassed the most complete generated white noise site I’ve found. It has 150+ types of ambient sounds. It also has a “Noise Blocking” feature to block out distracting sounds.

Brain states

https://simplynoise.com/store/#BinauralBeats talks frequencies associated with various brain states

  • 0.1 Hz 4 Hz - Delta deep sleep for pain relief, healing, healing
  • 4 Hz 7 Hz - Theta deep relaxation for creativity, intuition
  • 8 Hz 13 Hz - Alpha relaxed focus for fast learning, stress relief, positive thinking
  • 13 Hz 30 Hz - Beta focused attention for concentrated problem-solving, energy, motivation
  • 30 Hz 100 Hz - Gamma high-level cognition for memory recall, peak awareness, high-level information processing
  • 100 Hz 200 Hz - High Gamma alertness
  • 200 Hz | 400 Hz - Ultra High Gamma alertness

Continuous Tones: 528 Hz

According to a Dr. Leonard Horowitz, 528 Hertz is a frequency that is central to the “musical mathematical matrix of creation.” Called the “LOVE frequency” and “miracle tone” is purported to be the DNA Repair Frequency because it resonates at the “heart of everything”.

However, much of Western Music is tuned to 741 Hz, which is in exact dissonance with 528 Hz. VIDEO

The Solfeggio frequencies contain the six pure tonal notes once used to make up an ancient musical scale.

Pink noise

“Pink noise” has a deeper feeling and thus a more comfortable, natural sound than white noise. In technical terms, its power spectral density is inversely proportional to the frequency of the signal, rather than equal intensity to it. This means the lower frequencies in pink noise are louder than the higher frequencies.

An even deeper sound than Pink noise is Brown or Brownian noise is based on Brownian Motion – the random motion of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) resulting from their collision with the fast-moving molecules in the fluid. It’s also called “Red noise”?

Ambient Sounds

https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/binauralBrainwaveGenerator.php has wonderful descriptions of many sounds (after you scroll down the pleading for money).

  • Sounds take several seconds to load.

  • The site also shows photos of the site where the sound recording was taken, along with a travelogue by the recording engineer.

  • Listeners post their revervie about each soundscape.

  • My personal favorite: Furry Friend - that’s cat purr, without the allergy.

Coffitivity app

That’s a quote at the https://coffitivity.com website which offers ambient sounds such as “Morning Murmur”, “Lunchtime Lounge”, and “University Undertones” so you can pretend you’re ignoring other people talking, but not to you.

White Noise App

According the LifeWire

White Noise Web Pages

rainymood.com plays a rain shower with distant thunder immediately upon entering the site.

From noisli.com

Install this Chrome app gives you a button to click for instant white noise from Noisli.com. It generates 3 different white noises and enables you to combine several sounds to achieve either higher productivity or relaxation. The sounds: rain, storm, birds, leaves russeling, mountain stream, seashore, dripping water, fireplace, crickets, coffee shop, fan, and coffee house.

Optionally, save the money it takes to fly to Paris, Brazil, and Texas to hear what ambient sounds like there.

Music without lyrics

PROTIP: Here are my criteria for selecting titles:

  • no commercial interruption that disrupt flow

  • Long songs (at least an hour or 2)

  • PROTIP: Unfamiliar tunes are less distracting than soundtracks from movies or songs with lyrics I’ve memorized, such as Greatest Showman, etc.

Canon in D (German Baroque composer Johann Pachelbel’s Canon) was originally scored for three violins and basso continuo and paired with a gigue. It’s famous for being played at weddings. It inspires me to be a better person.
