People on TikTok are expressing their surprise and contentment about the white noise alternative, brown noise. There is no denying that TikTok is amazing at making sounds, videos, and trends go viral, and this time it is the Brown Noise that has taken the platform by storm.

This sound, according to users on the social media platform, helps them relax. Users with ADHD, in particular, have expressed how beneficial this sound has been to them. Despite not being clinically backed, people believe that this sound helps them gather their thoughts and focus on a task without feeling distracted.


What is Brown Noise?

The various sounds - brown, white and pink - differ in terms of variation. While some can be low in terms of frequency, others might be in the mid-range and rest in high-range. A good example would be the sound of the wind and the rain; depending on the density and what range of sound it is producing.

However, the main question here is, what is the Brown noise, and why is it generating such a stir on the internet?

In terms of frequency, the brown noise is deep and strong at the lower end. While it is well known that music helps people relax, particularly those with neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD, it is yet to be established whether this noise is the ideal one for those with such disabilities.

A good example of brown noise would be a strong waterfall.

A lot of people consider the titular noise to be better than white noise, which is somewhat similar to the former; the only difference being that the former is much deeper, and this is what helps people feel calm and composed.


Brown Noise is becoming increasingly popular on TikTok

Avid and active TikTok users are now comparing the sounds they use and claiming that brown noise is far better in terms of relaxation and calmness.

One user even took to TikTok and wrote:

"If you're wondering, brown noise ... cured my ADHD. Why? I don't know. What I do know is that anytime I put it on I'm sucked into a vortex of hyper focus and the world just makes sense. Have I cracked the code? Maybe.”
