Staggered cadence, rhythm generator? (lemm.ee)

submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

28 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Problem: I'm being driven mad by voices speaking to me thru white noise. Need white noise to sleep

Psychiatrist today suggested:

normal human speech has typical rhythm, cadence
fans, white noise audio files are always looped, rhythms in it
brain is hearing those patterns as human voices
I need to introduce staggered rhythms to disrupt

Possibilities:

Willie Nelson, William Shatner speak with atypical cadence. Play at same time as white noise
phone app that vibrates atypically
machine in room that generates atypical rhythms, vibrations

Options, ideas? I'd like not to go further insane

Not sure if it's what you're looking for, butI have a free app called White Noise lite (Android) that let's you 'remix' multiple white noises by combining them. You can add up to 5 different noises at once, with customized settings that include variance. Here's some shots of what that looks like in the app:

Perfect, free even better. Will definitely look into that.
