[quote=AgrippinaX]Nothing like seeing a thread where I left a long comment and realising I have no recollection whatsoever of doing so or even seeing the thread…. I’d say I need a break but I’ve already quit my job so what gives? 🤦*♀️[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]It may be the “in your ear” aspect of using earbuds. Not really an issue with external (?) white noise.[/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane]White noise always, especially now that I sleep like 50 ft from a road. Not even the gnarliest bike exhaust can disturb my slumber.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]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. :up:[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][font=century gothic]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 :suspicious: , 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.[/font][/quote]
