White noise is similar to the hissing of a static TV, a vacuum, a fan or a hairdryer. It is the most studied sound color, and can be an effective sleep aid due to the fact that it can help to block out external noises like snoring, cars, or music. It can help to give the brain a different focus away from busy thoughts.
Brown Noise
Brown noise has a deeper intensity sound to it than white noise, more like a low roaring river or strong wind.
With brown noise you hear a similar sound to white noise with less of a higher pitch.

Pink noise – This is white noise that has been filtered to enhance the lower frequency range but not as toned down as brown noise. Listening to pink noise can promote sleep and calm brain wave activity.
Blue noise – This noise has more energy in higher frequencies and a more obvious hissing sound than white noise.
