What Are White, Pink and Brown Noise?
White noise consists of all audible frequencies played at equal intensity. It has a consistent static-like hiss or hum. Examples include household noise like TV and radio static and the sound of a running AC or vacuum cleaner.
White noise is particularly effective at masking sudden and loud noises to promote better sleep quality. Other benefits of white noise include helping you relax and sharpening focus. As mentioned earlier, other noise colors can help with these, too.
Pink noise is known for its calming effect that enhances relaxation. It consists of more soothing sounds that have a lower pitch than white noise. Think of the sound of a heart beating, gentle rain or a soft shower.
Brown noise, on the other hand, has a deep and rumbling sound, like waterfalls, thunder or a strong river current. It can drown out low-frequency noises and also helps ease stress and boost focus.
Manta White Noise Machine offers pink, brown and white noise and other sounds that soothe.

It plays 25 gapless sleep sounds, including white noise. There are also brown noise, ocean waves, gentle rain, nature sounds and sleep music.
It has an 8-foot USB-C cable and power adapter, though it works with any 10W (5V/2A) charger.
