粉红噪音

    fěnhóng zàoyīn

    Meaning: Literally translated from English, "pink noise" has a frequency such that its power spectral density is inversely proportional to its frequency. On the sound frequency spectrum, pink falls between white and red noise, also known as Brownian noise. To a person's ears, pink noise is often flat, sounding like the buzz on an empty television station or the sound of ocean waves. In recent years, pink noise has become popular in business settings — the noise can mask low-frequency background sound, potentially helping to increase productivity and concentration among employees. It can also help older adults get deeper sleep and stronger memories.
