What is Pink Noise and How To Use It For Concentration?

Pink noise is a type of sound that contains equal energy per octave.

In simple terms, it is a type of noise with more low-frequency energy than high-frequency energy. 

The term "pink noise" comes from the analogy with the color spectrum, where pink light has lower frequencies than white light.

Pink noise is different from white noise, which has equal energy per frequency. White noise sounds like static and has equal intensity across all frequencies, making it sound somewhat harsh and flat to the human ear.

The benefit of pink noise lies in its balanced frequency distribution, which makes it useful for various applications:

Sound masking: Pink noise can be used to mask background sounds, making it easier to concentrate, relax, or sleep. Its balanced energy across different frequencies helps to cover a wide range of ambient noises without being overly distracting.

Testing and calibration: In audio and acoustic testing, pink noise is often used to analyze and calibrate audio equipment and speakers. Its balanced frequency distribution ensures that each frequency band is adequately tested and adjusted.

Tinnitus relief: Some studies have suggested that pink noise might help alleviate the symptoms of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) by reducing the perception of the ringing sound.

Sleep aid: Pink noise has been linked to improving sleep quality and enhancing deep sleep stages. Listening to pink noise during sleep may help some individuals fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

Cognitive benefits: There is ongoing research into whether pink noise can improve cognitive functions such as memory and focus. Some studies have indicated that it might have a positive impact on brain activity.

Relaxation and meditation: Pink noise is often used in relaxation and meditation practices due to its soothing and calming properties.

What is Pink Noise and How To Use It For Concentration?

У меня дома много вещей и я не знаю, куда их деть. У меня много одежды, которую я уже не ношу, много коробок, много банок. Я не хочу выбрасывать банки из под кофе потому что я думаю, что  когда-нибудь они мне пригодятся. Недавно я сделала уборку в доме и я постаралась сложить ненужную одежду в пакеты.

Многие говорят, что беспорядок в доме может привести к беспорядку в голове. Может быть, так и есть на самом деле. Поэтому я стараюсь быть более организованной, убираться дома хотя бы один раз в неделю. Конечно, не всегда хватает времени на уборку дома, но я стараюсь как могу. Моя мама очень любит убираться. Она убирается по несколько раз в неделю. Ей нравится пылесосить, мыть полы на кухне, в ванной и гостиной, вытирать пыль.

 Но у неё тоже есть зависимость! У неё не так много хлама, как у меня дома, но она любит коллекционировать фарфоровые статуэтки. У неё их очень много. Слава Богу, мне не нравится покупать статуэтки и ставить их везде по всему дому. Но у меня дома очень много клубков потому что я вяжу и они тоже лежат по всему дому:в комнате и в гостиной, на диване, под диваном, на кровати и под кроватью. Я думаю, что мне нужно купить большую корзину, куда я могу положить все клубки. 

В будущем я хочу избавиться от ненужных вещей. Я хочу отдать кому-нибудь одежду, которую я не ношу, продать свитера, которые я связала, купить корзину для клубков. Недавно я посмотрела американскую передачу, которая называется “Hoarders” что на русском значит “Накопители мусора” или на разговорном языке “Хламщики или барахольщики”. Хлам и барахло - это ненужные вещи, мусор, который скапливается у нас дома и который мы не выбрасываем. Конечно, у пожилых людей больше мусора чем у молодых людей.

Ancient Egyptians loved and respected cats, believing they brought good luck.

Some families even dressed their cats in jewelry, and mummified them after death. They would mourn the death of their cat by shaving off their eyebrows, and continue to mourn until their eyebrows grew back.

Inspired by this ancient love for cats, the Shanghai Museum in China held a special event called Meowseum Nights.

Held 10 times during last summer and fall, the event invited 200 cats and 2,000 people to explore the exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt.

Some of the artifacts shown in the exhibition came from a temple discovered years ago in Egypt. The temple was for Bastet, an Egyptian goddess who could change into a cat. This gave the Shanghai Museum another reason to use cats as the theme for their event.

Museum director Chu Xiaobo said that the event was created to bring cat lovers to the museum, as in Shanghai, where there are over a million pet cats, cat-friendly public spaces are rare.

"There are dog parks, dog brunches, but not that much for cat parents to do with their pets," Wen Liuli, a visitor to the exhibition, told The Art Newspaper.

The museum took measures to keep all visitors and artifacts safe. Cats had to stay in strollers or bags, but there were certain areas where people could take their cats out for photos, such as in front of a statue of Bastet. All the other artifacts were kept behind glass.

The museum also had vets, doctors, and even an ambulance on-site, and over 80 animal welfare workers attended each night to help and give advice.

While the museum doesn't plan to hold another Meowseum Night, Chu hopes it might inspire other museums to try similar ideas.

"Cat people now have a special affection for the Shanghai Museum," he said.
