Pink noise.

[elfs]

Pink noise is the correct term for what most people call white noise, but "white noise generators" are mostly recordings of natural sounds. I like natural sounds for the most part: whind, rain, the sound of a rushing water. The one sound that drives me crazy, however, is trickling water. I've never understood why people want those little trickling fountains. There's a little Thai restaurant near my home that Omaha and I like to frequent, but it has two large vase-shaped fountains that drive me nuts.

Why is that?
