If you like this I can’t recommend Brain.FM[0] enough. I use whenever I need to deep work/think about things and I find I have long stretches of incredible productivity combined with noise isolating headphones
They also boast a lot of actual research that backs up why they play the sounds they do and such.
It’s been a life changer for me, really. I hope I never see the day they go out of business cause I am heavily reliant on it to maintain productivity at this point (thanks ADHD)

I have a theory that people like those sort of white noise sounds due to plesant memories associated to them. For instance, maybe the person is into sci-fi or, for the coffee shop ones, maybe it's someone who often goes to coffee shops with friends. I, particularly, like absolute silence. The quieter it is, the more relaxed I get. Is there any scientific explanation as to why some people like white noise whereas other people prefer silence?

My favorite is still, with `sox` installed, some variation on
play -q -n -c1 synth whitenoise lowpass -1 400 lowpass -1 300 lowpass -1 200 lowpass -1 100 gain +10
and tweaking the number of `lowpass` filters and their values appropriately

I’ve been throwing on ASMR reruns during work. It helps when I need to be in the zone for pure coding but not as much when answering emails or crafting documentation.

I rely on white noise in crowded offices or when I just need to get in-flow quickly. So far I have used ASoftMurmur with following config [1], but working on a space ship seems cool and I will try it.

UX nitpick: no pause/stop button.

Apparently starship environments mostly include the sounds of air hitting the side of the starship.

Thank you. Usually I just extend youtube with similar themed video on one of the screens.
I have to be careful which one I use as a lot of them make me sleepy. Example being that Live Norwegian CAM, which makes me go from wide awake to lullaby sleepy in minutes.

I enjoy this. I have been using binaural beats via sbagen for over 10 years to get me in the zone. It’s incredible.

mynoise.net is so much better
