How can you cope with ADHD symptoms? Therapy and medication may be effective for your child or you. We can’t ignore the complementary interventions. Brown noise is one example.
If you’re drowsy or anxious (low arousal), your focus and attention will be low. To maximize performance, arousal must be at the right level.
A recent Psychology Today article caught my eye. I was always on the lookout for new and useful subject matter.
Joel T. Nigg PhD wrote “Brown Noise & ADHD: What is the scoop on the latest buzz?”. A clinical psychologist, researcher, and author, Dr. Nigg is a world-renowned expert on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Take a look at what he has to say about the effects of brown noises on ADHD.
You must know that it also affects adults.
What is brown sound?
Dr. Nigg starts by noting recent buzz about reports touting brown noise as a treatment for ADHD.
What is it, you ask?
It’s interesting: “brown”, unlike color, has nothing to do about the shade. Brownian motion is responsible for the sound of brown noise, which was discovered by Robert Brown in 19th century Scotland.
Also known as Brownian and red noise.
Nigg says that brown noise contains all the frequencies equally across the entire spectrum of audible sounds.
It’s similar in that it sounds like white noise but with a lower, richer sound.

Brown noise is said to help you focus and remain calm when doing tasks such as studying or writing. It’s also believed that it induces relaxation due to its compatibility with the brain in rest.
Brown noise can help anxiety disorder patients who are constantly on the lookout to find threats. It may also support sleep and concentration despite the alarms both external and internal.
Research has also shown that brown sound can soothe ringing or tinnitus in the ears.
