How to Generate Pink Noise in 3 Steps with Tone Generator
Getting a good night’s sleep is much harder than you think. Whether it’s a snoring partner, the neighbour's car alarm going off, or the cat’s late-night adventures around the house, the slightest disruption to silence when you’re lying in bed can be frustrating. Getting rid of these background sounds is pretty much an impossible challenge but what if there was a way to mask these unpleasant noises with more pleasant ambient noises or static sounds?
