Colored noises are various sound spectrums characterized by different frequency distributions and intensities. White noise has equal intensity across all frequencies, aiding in masking other sounds and promoting relaxation. Pink noise emphasizes lower frequencies, resembling natural sounds like rainfall, and is used for deep relaxation and improved sleep. Brown noise, with its strong low-frequency components, offers grounding and stress relief. Blue and violet noises, with increasing intensity at higher frequencies, stimulate the mind and clear mental fog. Gray noise, perceived as equally loud across all frequencies, provides balanced auditory reset, while green noise, centered on mid-range frequencies, mimics natural environments to promote harmony and rejuvenation. Orange noise, customized by removing certain frequencies, is used for targeted therapeutic applications.
These are traditionally not used in a sound bath setting but are utilized in other forms of sound therapy.
White Noise
Balanced intensity across all frequencies. Creates a blanket of sound, masking other noises
Uses: Calming the mind, aiding sleep, promoting focus
Pink Noise
Emphasizes lower frequencies with decreasing intensity as frequency increases. Mimics natural sounds of nature, sounds reminiscent of wind on the ocean.
Uses: Deep relaxation, enhancing meditation, improving sleep quality
Brown (Red) Noise
Stronger emphasis on very low frequencies. Deep, rumbling sound
Uses: Grounding, deep relaxation, relieving stress
Blue Noise
Intensifies with higher frequencies. Sharp, high-pitched sound
Uses: Stimulating the mind, boosting energy, clearing mental fog
Violet (Purple) Noise
Very high frequency. High-pitched hiss
Uses: Clearing energy blocks, enhancing focus, stimulating higher chakras, tinnitus.
Gray Noise
Perceived as equally loud across all frequencies. Harmonized for human hearing
Uses: Balanced sound therapy, comprehensive relaxation, auditory reset
Green Noise
Centers around mid-range frequencies that mimics natural environments, sounds almost like a rushing creek
Uses: Promoting a sense of natural harmony, relaxation, rejuvenation
Orange Noise
Custom-tailored by removing certain frequencies. Unlike white, pink, or brown noise, which have defined spectral distributions, orange noise is more customized and can be shaped to suit specific needs.
Uses: Tailored sound therapy, masking disruptive noises, specific therapeutic applications
