White Noise

ikthius · 11-01-2006, 21:15

Help.

I put this thread here because I thought it was more suitable here.

I am looking for free, sorry FREE white noise, as in a vacumm cleaner.

My brother is looking for this to help calm his wee boy, as he is having a terrible time of late, and apparantly this helps...... How?

So could any of you kind people tell me where I can find such noise so that I can burn it onto a CD for him?

I do not have a microphone or I would do it here.

thanks in advance

how can I loop this?

I put in into a player and just told the player to loop the track (MP3)

Which file? If it's MP3 you may be able to find a tool to edit it a bit. Either that or someone here may be able to help.

many thanks, I know the parents will go nuts, but apparently he like the hoover as well, so he will shut up and relax. so this helps them all.

Ya just have to know how to treat Google nicely mate

My neice didn't like the sound of the vacuum cleaner, so I bought her a toy upright dyson vacuum cleaner which had a vacuum type sound.

She loved it, she would clean the living room with it, and didn't take long to get used to the real thing.

It actually has a white noise generator built in.

However, (while I know nothing of your brother's family) I would recommend more fundamental steps if the wee babby is having settling problems. Have they tried this:

It's a bit radical but boy does it work. We used it with both of ours (now aged 3 and 7 months) and we get a painless bedtime at 7pm every night (and painless nap times too).

BTW any TV or radio tuned between stations (AM esp) will generate a close approximation to white noise

How to transfer it to CD is another matter !!
