Noise Generator

Generate white, pink, or brown noise directly in your browser. Use it for focus and productivity, masking distracting background sounds, improving sleep, or breaking in new speakers. Run a surround test any time you rearrange your speakers to confirm the layout is correct.

Select a noise type and press Play.

White, Pink & Brown Noise Explained

Noise color describes how the power of a noise signal is distributed across frequencies. Each type has a unique spectral shape and a distinct perceptual quality. Check that your speakers are correctly wired and in phase with the free stereo polarity test.

White Noise

Contains equal power across all frequencies within the audible range. Sounds like a bright, static hiss — similar to an untuned radio or a rushing shower. Effective for masking a wide range of sounds. Run the spectrum analyzer to check whether your room acoustics are boosting or cutting specific frequencies.

Pink Noise

Has equal power per octave — so it decreases at 3 dB per octave. Sounds more balanced and natural, similar to steady rain or wind. Widely used in audio testing and acoustic measurements.

Brown Noise (Red Noise)

Decreases at 6 dB per octave — much more low-frequency energy. Sounds deep and rumbling, like a strong waterfall or distant thunder. Many people find it deeply relaxing.

Common Uses

  • Focus & productivity: Masks office chatter and intermittent distractions
  • Sleep: Smooths out sudden noises that disrupt sleep
  • Tinnitus relief: Helps mask the perception of ringing in the ears
  • Speaker burn-in: Pink noise is widely used to run in new speaker drivers
  • Room acoustics: Pink noise helps identify acoustic problems when combined with a spectrum analyzer
