  • Many people are familiar with white noise - the sound of untuned radio stations, blank video tapes or sleep aiding noise machines. Did you know there are many other colors of noise?
    Pink, brown, gray and more! In this video we discuss a huge variety of different kinds of noise and explain the purposes of each. Sound Speeds!

    I don't know who needs this but:
    White: 0:52
    Pink: 1:38
    Brown: 2:31
    Violet: 3:01
    Blue: 3:21
    Grey: 3:56
    Green: 4:23
    Orange: 4:40
    Black: 4:50
    This video is very well done and compact, so this isn't me saying that it takes too long to get here. I've put this up for people who want to just hear comparisons of certain ones and don't want to search around.

      The only noise that's wrong is Orange. Things were right in the edit but when it rendered, my source audio clip changed because I was cleaning out unused files and removed the wrong one. I didn't catch this until way after the fact.

    Brown noise (no pun intended) tickles me pink. Like it just sounds so comforting. I've already listening to a mix of white, pink and brown noise and it's helped drown out my early rise parents when i need extra sleep and my neighbors (though, I still wish they'd stop being incosiderate assses and allow me to hear more silences way more often).

    Question for you: why does a waterfall sound like brown noise :)) What is in the physics of the water falling that makes it sound brown?

    • @SoundSpeeds
      @SoundSpeeds  5 лет назад +2

      I'm not aware of one. It had more to do with Brownian motion.

    • @SoundSpeeds
      @SoundSpeeds  5 лет назад +2

      Everything has it's own noise pattern and sound. A waterfall can sound different depending on the height of the falls, width, depth of the pool below, if it hits rock or rapids, etc.

      Not much info about orange noise but from what I've learned it's brown and pink noise overlayed and can be used to drown out other sounds very effectively.
