KEY POINTS

Imagine the soothing sounds of rain or ocean waves. That’s basically what pink noise is, and it’s been making waves for its potential to improve sleep and boost memory. Even Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and Dr. Cortina Peters are giving it a try!

Early research from Northwestern University suggests that pink noise might just be the secret to a good night’s rest and a sharper mind.

Thousands of people are already tuning in on YouTube and meditation apps.

Now, you might be thinking, “Doesn’t it all just sound the same?” Well, not quite. While white noise, pink noise, and even gray noise might seem similar to the untrained ear, their different frequencies have unique effects on our brains.

And the best part?

Finding the right fit is a personal journey. Whether it’s the gentle trickle of a creek or the steady hum of a fan, experiment with different sounds to find what works best for you.
