00:00:13 --> 00:00:13 Hello,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:26 Momo 634.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 In our last episode,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51 I discussed what has been a game changer for our sleep routine,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52 binaural beats.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57 I've linked that episode beneath this one at momo634.com.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 But there are other sounds that provide focus,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04 filtering,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 and other beneficial effects for work,

00:01:07 --> 00:01:07 sleep,

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09 and concentration.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 You may have heard of some,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:17 but there are far more I've heard about recently that caused me to do a deeper dive.

00:01:18 --> 00:01:19 Here's the rundown.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:21 white noise.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 Of all the types we will discuss in this episode,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26 this is the most common.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30 It's similar to the static between radio stations.

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 It contains equal intensity of frequencies,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:35 providing a steady,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36 unvarying sound.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:42 It's most commonly used for masking background noises and promoting focus

00:01:42 --> 00:01:43 or sleep.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45 Pink noise.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:51 This noise is more balanced in that it utilizes equal energy per octave,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 thus less harsh than white noise.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56 It's often compared to wind or rain.

00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 Pink noise can also assist with sleep quality.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:02 Green noise.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 While not as common as white noise,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08 green noise brings to mind the sounds of nature,

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 like flowing rivers or rustling leaves.

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15 It's considered relaxing and soothing.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:17 Brown noise.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 Also known as red noise,

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24 this type of noise has more energy at lower frequencies.

00:02:25 --> 00:02:28 It also has a deeper, softer sound and

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32 similar to distant thunder or a waterfall.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:37 It's most commonly used to facilitate sleep and relaxation.

00:02:38 --> 00:02:43 So what's the difference between binaural beats and noise with all its

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44 different colors?

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47 Generally speaking,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52 white noise and other types of noise provide a consistent background sound,

00:02:52 --> 00:02:58 while binaural beats use specific frequencies to influence mental states.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:05 Binaural beats and what I call the colorful noises are definite toolkit items.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:11 Pair them with a Bluetooth headband crafted for listening to fall asleep,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13 and you are all set.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16 I used a sleep headband a few years ago,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18 but lost it in my cross-country move.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:22 Listening to these sounds without them has been great,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25 but I miss out on the full effect.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:28 When I have my big bulky headset on,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31 the binaural beats are more pronounced,

00:03:31 --> 00:03:32 enhancing their efficacy.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37 So I'm looking forward to replacing my sleep headband so that I can get the

00:03:37 --> 00:03:38 full effect.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:44 I've linked it below this episode and the episode on binaural beats.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:51 Long-time listeners know sleep is one of my biggest issues and that sleep and

00:03:51 --> 00:03:51 sleep

00:03:51 --> 00:03:53 quality are interconnected with mood,

00:03:54 --> 00:03:54 etc.

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00 I feel tremendously blessed to have discovered this information on sound

00:04:00 --> 00:04:01 andbeats

00:04:01 --> 00:04:02 to help improve my sleep.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05 It's not just limited to that, however.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:11 I've created playlists with beats and sounds for work to assist with focus

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12 and concentration.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15 Today's Momoism says,

00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 colors aren't just for seeing,

00:04:17 --> 00:04:18 they're for hearing,

00:04:18 --> 00:04:18 too.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23 If you've tried any of these colorful sounds or binaural beats,
