White noise for neighbors' renovations
One tap starts a deep brown noise that softens drilling, banging and power tools.
Renovation noise is hard to ignore because it is unpredictable: silence, then a sudden drill. A steady background sound narrows the gap between quiet and noise, so each bang stands out less.
Brown noise works best here – it is strong in the low frequencies where most hammering and wall noise lives. A little pink noise helps cover higher-pitched saws.
Use closed headphones or a nearby speaker and start at a low volume.

Which sound is best for renovations?
