Grey Noise for Sleep & Tinnitus Relief

10m | Jul 16, 2026

Grey noise is one of the most underrated sounds for sleep — and once you 

hear it, you'll understand why. Unlike white noise, grey noise is 

psychoacoustically tuned to match the way the human ear perceives sound, 

making it feel balanced and even across all frequencies. The result is 

something that's genuinely easier to listen to for hours without becoming 

fatiguing or grating.


WHO THIS IS FOR:

– If you have tinnitus, grey noise works as a consistent masking sound 

 that can ease the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing. It's 

 commonly used alongside formal tinnitus sound therapy programs, 

 including notched sound therapy and approaches like Widex Zen therapy. 

 Always work with your audiologist for a structured tinnitus treatment 

 plan — this is a complement, not a replacement.

– If you have ADHD, steady ambient noise like grey or brown noise helps 

 regulate stimulation and makes it easier to wind down, study, or sleep.

– If you just can't sleep in silence, this gives your brain something 

 neutral to lock onto so you can actually switch off.


HOW TO USE IT:

For sleep — start it before bed and let it run. Keep the screen face-down 

or use a sleep timer on your phone. For tinnitus relief — play at a low 

volume, just enough to partially mask the ringing without overpowering it. 

For focus — low-to-medium background volume works best.


Grey noise sits between white noise and brown noise on the spectrum. If 

this doesn't feel right, try our brown noise or green noise videos — links 

in the playlist below.

videos regularly, and it genuinely helps us keep making them.
