The Shoutbox
It may be the “in your ear” aspect of using earbuds. Not really an issue with external (?) white noise.
White noise always, especially now that I sleep like 50 ft from a road. Not even the gnarliest bike exhaust can disturb my slumber.
I'm a pretty light sleeper so I got in the habit of putting a fan on at night to mask incidental noise. My wife eventually got used to it, too, and at one point I saw a white noise machine on sale and went for it...and we've never gone back. We used it for over a decade and just recently replaced it with more or less the exact same model. We bring it with us when we travel.

Highly recommended.
White noise vs Silence?

The rhythm associated with a lot of white noise seems to have the opposite effect of its intended purpose with me. The repetition is a spiral🌀, a spiral , the winding of a clock or a flat circle.

When I take the ear buds out, I can feel this residual intensity that gets masked by the noise itself.
i may give The Ones Who Live a try. Andrew Lincoln was the only reason i even watched the first show
SAG awards are tonight. I'm predicting Oppenheimer, Murphy, Gladstone, RDJ, Randolph, and Mission Impossible for stunts.

They really nailed that one. Next frame, she punches someone through a mountain while the camera zooms out 2 miles.

Doomed by the curse of putting the cart before the horse.
