What’s more, the masking noise has to have enough power in the to-be-masked sound’s frequency range. I often use “waterfall-like” noise to increase the overall room noise level so that intermittent noises, such as barking and creaking disappear. In general, I like the noise colors that sound like a very regular waterfall. Here is one variation of what I call dark-brown noise (own creation, best appreciated with headphones): These noises are usually named after colors (white noise, pink noise, brown noise, etc.): the darker the color, the lower-pitched the noise.
Some white noise machines allow you to choose between different broadband noises. Note: When referring to white noise in this post, I am talking about a whole family of broadband noises, not just “true” white noise (which has the same intensity at all frequencies and is too high-pitched for many purposes). To help with most types of intermittent noise, you can play a white noise machine to boost earplug performance and solve the problem of “too quiet.” Adding “dark-brown” noise as a secret sauce? In fact, against a quiet backdrop (or when wearing earplugs), most intermittent noises can be startling even if they are not very loud. Many people try their best, but sometimes the structure amplifies everything they do… Some neighbors are cooperative and some are light walkers so you hear nothing while their successors may walk on their heels, creating vibrations and resonances in the building. I have since moved apartments/houses and cities multiple times for professional and private reasons. It only soured the relationship over time. Yes, I talked to them-several times, but this didn’t solve the problem. In the end, I would lie in my bed wide awake, unable to get any sleep until the early morning. A few bouts of heavy walking were virtually guaranteed. It didn’t really matter when I tried to retire for the night. When I went to bed earlier, stomping would wake me up several times until I couldn’t fall back asleep.
I would go to bed at perhaps 11 pm and soon thereafter the couple upstairs would come home and start walking back and forth-on top of my bedroom. Years ago, I had my first experience with prolonged insomnia when new neighbors moved into the upstairs apartment and started living at around midnight every single night.
