Testing speakers with noise

Play pink noise at a medium volume and walk around the room. A good speaker sounds smooth and even. Buzzing, fluttering or a hiss from only one side points to a loose part, a damaged driver or a bad cable. Switch between Left and Right to compare the two sides.

Breaking in new speakers

Some people play pink noise at moderate volume for a few hours to loosen up a new speaker’s suspension. The effect is small and debated, but it does no harm at normal volume. Never run any sound at full volume for long periods.

Using noise for sleep and focus

Steady noise masks sudden sounds like traffic, voices or a snoring partner. Keep the volume low (around conversation level or less) and use the timer so it does not play all night.

Questions people ask

Is it safe to sleep with noise on?

Keep it quiet and use the timer. Experts suggest staying well below 70 dB for long listening.

Will it keep playing with the screen off?

Usually yes while the browser tab stays open. Some phones pause audio to save battery.

Which noise is best for testing speakers?

Pink noise. It matches how we hear, so problems are easy to notice.

What is the difference between white and pink noise?

White noise has equal energy at all frequencies and sounds bright. Pink noise drops at higher frequencies and sounds softer, like steady rain.

Can noise help a baby sleep?

Many parents use it at a low volume. Keep the device away from the crib and the volume quiet.

Does it work offline?

After the page loads, the noise is created in your browser, so it keeps playing without a connection.
