Where to download white noise music for sleeping aids?
Hi all,
I cannot sleep well because I am facing an extremely busy street with heavy traffic and directly beneath my bed there is a pizza shop which plays heavy metal rock and roll type music loudly in the all days and all nights. I am looking for white noise music that I can download for free and I can use my laptop to play when I am sleeping.
I am also okay with paid white noise music, although I am primarily looking for free ones… so if you have extremely good recommendations, please point out to me so that I can buy them. I have found numerous sellers of white noise online and I found it’s very confusing and it’s difficult to know which works best…
Thanks a lot!

White noise can be a confusing topic. I’ve been a very light sleeper for years and I’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to find a solution. If you look around at various websites, the things they consider white noise are ocean sounds, jungle sounds, nature sounds, etc… This is not truly white noise, but soothing relaxing sounds. If your only problem is falling asleep, then those types of sounds will work. But it sounds like you have to deal with noise all night, in which case, you will be awakened by the random change in sound that those types of audio files will contain. True white noise is a steady sound that does not change. I know you don’t want to spend much money, but what I’ve found works best for me is to purchase a room air filter that when set to high speed makes a lot of noise. I’ve been using that for years now and it works great. I can’t hear my upstairs neighbors or anything else that might wake me up. If you do decide to buy a CD, make sure it’s really white noise, and not just relaxing sounds.
