Chroma Noise

Noise masking uses colored noise variants — white, pink, brown, and beyond — to improve focus, mask distractions, and promote relaxation. Our guides explore the science behind each noise color and provide evidence-based recommendations.

Definition

What is Chroma Noise?

Colored noise refers to categories of random sound signals defined by their spectral power distribution across frequencies. White noise has equal energy at every frequency, pink noise emphasizes lower frequencies with a 1/f power curve, and brown noise further amplifies bass. Each color masks environmental distractions differently, making them useful for focus, sleep, and tinnitus management.
