Violet Noise for Quiet Minds
High-Frequency Spectral Sound for Tinnitus Masking and Mental Stillness

Violet noise — also called purple noise — increases in power as frequency rises, emphasising the upper end of the audible spectrum. While this might sound counterintuitive for sleep, violet noise has a specific and devoted audience: people with tinnitus.
The high-frequency emphasis of violet noise closely matches the frequency range where most tinnitus occurs (typically 3000-8000 Hz), making it an effective masking sound that reduces the perceived volume of ringing without the heaviness of brown or pink noise. For tinnitus sufferers, the relief of having their internal sound matched and masked by an external source can be transformative for sleep.
This recording provides continuous violet noise at a volume calibrated for comfortable overnight listening. The high-frequency content is shaped to avoid harshness — the spectral curve is smooth and gradual, without the piercing quality of raw high-frequency noise. For non-tinnitus listeners who find lower-frequency noise too warm or heavy, violet noise offers a lighter, cleaner alternative that some describe as more transparent.
