23、Brown noise is one classification of noise “color”. Each color represents long-lasting patterns of noise frequencies that we can hear, ranging from 20 to 20,000 hertz.

“White noise has equal energy at all frequencies. To us, it sounds like radio static,” explains Anahita Mehta, a researcher who studies sound pitch at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute at the University of Michigan. “Pink noise has more energy in low frequency ranges compared to the high ranges. It sounds lower than white noise. Examples would be rainfall or traffic.”

Then, there’s brown noise. It’s technically classified as red noise, but the nickname comes from the way it’s produced: Its sound signals change randomly to produce the sound of static, imitating a type of unsteady movement pattern, called Brownian motion. “Brown noise has even fewer high frequencies than white or pink noise, and you’ll recognize it as a lower sound,” Mehta says. “Examples would be the deep roar of an ocean wave crashing or thunder rolling.”

Although brown noise is the latest trend to make its way onto social media, scientists can only speculate about its benefits. Very little evidence exists on the effect of brown noise, and the proof that is available has included only small groups of participants for short periods of time. But there’s a growing interest to see if brown noise might help health.

Researchers suspect that brown noise may help produce the relaxation response in some people.“Maybe you find it relaxing to hear the sounds of the sea, so if you listen to brown noise that sounds like waves crashing, and it helps you, that’s great – as long as you’re listening at a low volume,” Mehta says. “However, there’s no strong evidence that listening to brown noise reduces stress.”

Despite the suspected promise of brown noise, researchers are also concerned about its potential harms.

【1】What are examples of brown noise?

A．Rainfall and traffic.

B．Radio static and ocean waves.

C．Dogs barking and birds twittering.

【3】What can be discussed after the last paragraph?

A．The investigations on effects of brown noise.

B．The tips on producing the relaxation response.

C．The evidence on health benefits of brown noise.

D．The examples of damage caused by brown noise.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．What Is Brown Noise and What Are the Benefits?

B．The Scientific Theory Behind Brown Noise

C．How Brown Noise Affects Brain Health?

D．Different Noises, Different Colors
