There is this site called Pediasleep that I found one night while browsing for mobiles...

It's described as "Soothing White Noise MP3's For Babies".

They sounds aren't very expensive, and (unless you buy the CD), you can download and play them immeadiately after purchase. A cool thing about it also, is that they have a 2 minute preview of each sound so you can "try before you buy". There are sounds for adults, babies, and both, so there's a good possibility that there's one you like.

My personal favorites are:

Steady Rain With Womb

Clothes Dryer

I listened to some of the sounds, and allthough I admit they have a certain soothing effect, I still prefer the old fashioned lullabys.

I can't believe people pay money for recorded white noise. Set a radio between stations and you can play it at any volume you want.

Dunno about other people but doing that scares me. It always ends up switching to a radio station in the middle of the night

Regenerating noises heard in the womb! That is, in a word, impossible.

A child developing in the womb after week 24-28 has the mechanics to hear, but not the cognitive ability to understand or manipulate the muscles required to control the hearing. The muscle control is develeped within the first six months after birth. However, the brain has not got the ability to store, and therefore remember until after birth. Therefore, using a recording of womb sounds will not trigger any memories - there is none there to be triggered. However, a low rumbling sound interspersed with a slow rhythmic beat will soothe you. This is cause it triggers you to recall what you first heard when you were being soothed / fed / held. What the sound is is the sound of blood flowing and the heart beat of your carer. if you lie down on one side in a perfectly quiet room, you can hear this sound - ie your own heart beat - and that will soothe you, or purchase a stethoscope, and listen to your own heart-beat. Beware - it will cause you to relax and fall asleep. However, your mind will eventually filter that sound out.

White noise is an irritant to the ear & mind due to it constantly changing. The mind/ear tries unsuccessfully to filter it out.

A mistuned radio tuner is not white noise, but interference on a specific frequency. In technical terms, it is the phase locked loop tuner frequency scanning from 88 to 108Mhz (FM radio) in 1khz steps looking for a 5khz locking tone. What you hear is the raising tone cycling, and always, the radio will find a station depending on how accurate the PPL is and how far you are tuned away from the next station. Those radios without PLL, or with this switched off, the tone is the sound of a open base transistor scanning as capacitors charge and discharge. It is a faster cyclic scan. On top of that noise is either the mains frequency of 50/60hz or a multiple of that (100/120hz 200/240hz) or the combination of all. It also can be the encrypted signal of a mobile phone. A mistuned radio is tuned into a specific carrier frequency that has been rectified by the tuning diode and amplified. Something is always being transmitted on that carrier frequency - so in a word, it is NOT white noise.

Listing to this 'noise' will cause your mind to filter out a huge range of frequencies to such an extent that it may dull your hearing - or in extreme cases, make you temporarily deaf.

White noise, by definition is random and equal, and a tuned frequency is not random. White noise will soothe, and a mistuned radio, being repetitive will deafen and irate.

For those techies, to create your own white noise generator, build a class g audio amplifier but leave the base of two or more transistors open. The combined interference they pick up will generate enough randomness to be amplified.

I love to fall asleep to Chris Botti

I listened to them and they are pretty cool but I don't think im going to be downloading any of them any time soon

The running water one had an effect on me. I no longer need to pee. I was listening to it, and I suddenly started to wet my diaper.
