What is White Noise?
More Information about White Noise (click here)
White noise is the noise created when all audible frequencies of sound are combined at the same time and the same density. It is similar in nature to white light, which occurs when all the colors of the spectrum are brought together and incorporates over 20,000 frequencies. Also called white sound, it is used primarily as a sleep or relaxation aid. The actual sound produced is comparable to rainfall or ocean waves. It is a gentle tone that can be found in nature. Because it combines all frequencies of sound ranging from very low tones to high pitches, it is very useful in masking other noises and sounds. Source: wisegeek.com
The best way that white noise can be explained is that it is not a "noise." It is actually a sound frequency or a signal that one hears as a gentle hiss, similar to the sound of wind rustling through trees, a waterfall, radio static or the ocean surf. To use a simple analogy, the color white contains the whole spectrum of colors of light. Similarly, white noise is created by using the entire spectrum of frequencies the human ear can hear.
