pink noise
Softer white hiss
Pink noise is a sound signal with equal energy per octave, meaning lower frequencies are more prominent than in white noise.
It resembles natural sounds like rainfall, wind, or ocean waves.
Pink noise is used in audio engineering for testing speakers and acoustics, and has become popular as a sleep aid: I fall asleep faster with pink noise playing.
