What is the difference between pink and brown noise?

Pink has equal energy per octave — matches human hearing best. Brown attenuates high frequencies further, giving a low rumble like distant surf.

Noise compresses efficiently so MP3 at 128 kbps is nearly identical to WAV while being 10× smaller. Easy to loop on phones.

Can MP3 loop seamlessly?

Most players insert a brief gap. For seamless loops, export WAV and use a player with gapless support, or use an app designed for sleep sounds.

Common uses

Sleep: brown or pink at a low level, looped. MP3 at 128 kbps loops cleanly on most devices.
Focus and ADHD: pink noise around 40–50% amplitude, indoors speaker.
Speaker calibration: pink noise, matched reference level on both channels.
Tinnitus masking: test each color at a low level. Different profiles help different tinnitus pitches.
