I have slept above the club and found it so relaxing - the thumping muted music. Even now I like when the neighbors have a party and when we can hear stadium concerts. Not sure why, it's not exactly white noise, but I enjoy sleeping in that "music nearby but not right here" situation. I think it just makes my brain relax because it thinks things must be ok if there is a party?
I wish my brain worked like that... Anything that has a pattern my dumbass brain is like "oh a pattern! Let's focus on that like your life depends on it!" Music would drive me crazy lol
I need the randomness of actual "white noise" to drown out anything that my brain would feel the need to pay attention to. It's insanely annoying.
I often hear music in the fan noise, or voices in running water, if I'm tired enough - auditory hallucination, it's funny because it absolutely sounds like it's coming from outside my body but I know logically it's my brain. That I do sometimes "listen to" but it's always such awful music. Different styles all the time but never good.
And yeah vigilance is the enemy of sleep.
A couple of my coworkers and I, all musicians, had kids around the same time and we all complained about being able to hear the loop in the rain or ocean “white” noises from various baby machines.
I've noticed that too! I can only use the "static noise" ones, not anything looking to replicate any natural sounds or I notice the pattern too lol
