Bring in the (pink) noise
Sometimes we need a little help to drown out the noise that surrounds us. But why settle for archaic bothers like setting up birdhouses by the study window or walking out to the woods, or high-dollar noise generation machines? Free software can generate noise to drown out your distractions, from the comfort of your own workstation.
I know, noise generation is not for everyone.
The hum of noise is seemingly easier for the brain to tune out than clear, direct sound, and yet less distracting than absolute silence as well. A few years ago, I discovered the little Mac OS X freeware application Noise, from Blackhole Media. Noise generates, well, noise. White noise and pink noise, to be exact, and that's all. Just turn it on, and tune out the traffic, dogs, neighbors, kids, or whatever your distraction du jour is. How simple.
