White noise or "white noise". It is the classic sound that many people use to relax, or even more, according to some studies, it is very relaxing for the little ones to reconcile a peaceful sleep. What is true about all this?
There are studies that affirm that white noise is very favorable as background in work environments, since it improves our cognitive processes, especially in young people suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) , for example. Other analyzes tell us that it improves even our state of mind, which is why, sometimes, it becomes a "masked sound" in some scenarios of offices and even establishments.

The white noise, formed as you already know by all the sounds audible to us, is also completely random, that is, there is no order, it is shown almost in a chaotic way and in turn presents signal values in two different times that have no correlation statistics.

It is, so to speak, a type of noise that is very common in our daily lives and that sometimes goes unnoticed. Emergency vehicles, for example, use it as a background sound, but it is so masked that we hardly notice it.
But it is also worth noting an interesting aspect.

(the classic tinnitus ). In these cases, it is usually very beneficial.
