I am trying to Quit my “Listening addiction”(e.g podcasts, YouTube vids, Creepypasta). It started when my family moved away and I was alone in a really big house for a couple of months, so I would have Earphones on with something turned on, at all times. Now its become such I a problem that I can’t get anything done without something blaring in my ear at all time(never mind what this well do to my hearing in the long run)

Most task, like cleaning or grocery shopping dont need my focus, but then there is studying and work.

I know that, really, I would eventually have to give up my earphones at some point, but I wanted to start by replacing what listened to, with white Noise or brown noise

For example

Most of the searches for background noise on YouTube, bring up rain sounds and I just dont like the sound. Actual rain droplets make my skin crawl. Anyone got other recommendations?

P.S: I did delete my YouTube and podcast apps, so I can only listen to them on the Computer. I can listen to white noise from the mobile browser.

    I love this site so much. I’ve been a monthly supporter for a couple years now I think. Browsing and fiddling with the different generators is great (I use the Flying Fortress one for traffic noise and the Speech Blocker setting on the white noise one for coworkers), and creator’s blog posts are lovely.
