Do you have a source for this? We've always used white noise.

They may be citing a study that circulated recently about how white noise is the reason why we have an autism epidemic. I can't seem to find the study, though. But I do remember laughing.

Cool. I hadn’t read the study you linked. Thanks for sharing.

Slightly pedantic: I doubt you use white noise. White noise is extremely jarring.

You probably use brown noise or so?
