Tailored to your own hearing

Grey noise is a type of audio signal where the intensity, or volume, is adjusted so that it sounds equally loud across all frequencies to the human ear. This is because our ears are more sensitive to some frequencies than others. This characteristic makes it distinct from white noise, which has equal intensity across all frequencies. Grey noise offers a more balanced and natural sound profile, making it feel less harsh than white noise.

At myNoise, we offer genuine grey noise, uniquely crafted to feel perceptually flat across your entire hearing range. Unlike common noise types like white and pink, true grey noise is rare. It accounts for your hearing thresholds and even adjusts for your audio equipment's frequency response. That's why most online noise providers stick to generic options. For true personalized grey noise, use the calibration feature in the iEQ section. This is where the magic happens, and your hearing tresholds are measured.

Why grey is a better than white?

White noise has the same intensity across all frequencies, which might make certain frequencies sound disproportionately loud to our ears. The constant hissing or static sound of white noise can become irritating or distracting for some people. Grey noise, on the other hand, is designed to sound more natural and balanced to the human ear, making it a generally more comfortable and versatile option for various applications, including sleep, concentration, and stress relief.

 Social Media 

I am leaving social media. What once connected us has become a hollow space governed by greedy algorithms. Even my followers no longer see my posts! My newsletter is different: it delivers messages directly from me to you. And if you reply, I read it and answer. Plus, by subscribing, you show your love for the project and help keep me motivated to create new soundscapes.

Nature sounds are recorded in the field, and musical soundscapes are composed by musicians. Generative AI is never used to create myNoise soundscapes. Learn more here.
