Learning by listening to something during your sleep doesn't work. Brains go into a sort of maintenance mode during sleep, and it's not possible for your brain to sleep and interpret & comprehend sensory input at the same time.
Most likely the noise will have a negative effect on the length and quality of your sleep, which does have a proven negative effect on memory.
So it's probably better for you to learn while your awake and just sleep at night.

It doesnt work but placebo is strong. If someone thinks it is working, while also learning in other ways, then its likely working.

The placebo effect is so strong that it even works if you know you're taking a placebo. Brains are amazing!

Whether you are fluent in a language or not is decided by others i.e. society and not you. How is placebo effect relevant here?
Trevor Noah talking about how he learnt German.

So I started learning. I learned in different ways, you know - to watch German movies, play German speeches on my iPod when I sleep. Your brain remembers things you don't even know. It's beautiful.
