Sometimes, when I'm flying the sim, I start thinking (which is a very
risky business for me) and today, I was wondering how many of us get
mezmerized by the 'white sound' produced by the engines of our aircraft
and slipstream, to the point we almost become addicted to it. I think
it would affect the pilots of the jet aircraft more than the small prop
GA guys, but not necessarily. The drone of an engine can hypnotize
some people.
White sound has a known hypnotic quality about it. If anyone doesn't
know what it is, it's a steady noise, with no beat, rhythm or melody.
It just fills the ears and mind with a steady noise and listened to for
any length of time, can cause intense relaxation. It is used by many
people as a relaxant. It is also a 'regular noise' suppressant. Some
new offices are piping in white sound to drown out the chatter of
office machines and conversations. The white sound cannot be really
heard, but is there and takes the place of the other sounds.
I'm also wondering how many pilots are lulled by the noise of the
engines and slipstreams, causing them to want to doze off, and if so,
what they do about it. I suppose coffee is one way and make-work jobs
are another. Perhaps someone could tell us how pilots cope with it on
long-haul flights.

White sounds helped my wife after having a virus infection in the hearing
system. Making it possible to have a reasenable nightrest having this on the
radio. It took 2 years to come more or less over it.

In a "Musical Instrument Simulator" (what we call a synthetizer), "White
Noise" is a noise made with all the hearing frequencies at the same volume,
by opposition to a "Pink Noise" caracterised by an accentuation of the low
frequencies.
White noise is recognized as flat. it's exactly what you ear between the
broadcast stations (old tuners...)
Pink noise is recognized as rich, colored... the sound of an engine.
when you listen to a white noise, you hear "Shhhhhhhhh...". It's a noise.
when you listen to a pink noise, you hear "Broooommmm.......". It's quite a
sound.
white noises make necessary for the brain to below the volume of what is
heard, to save a correct signal/noise balance. that's why it seems that our
ears are full of absorbent cotton when travelling in a jet.
I prefer "small prop GA drone of an engine"

In the small, GA aircraft, noise-canceling headsets will cancel the
majority of the low frequencies of the engine sound as well as the
slipstream, making this white noise virtually non-existent.

I would have figured they were doing me a favour : )

I recall a story of an MD-80 crew that did fall asleep on the way to Las
Angles. They just kept on going out over the Pacific until they woke up.
The passengers commented that they thought it was odd when they passed over
LA and kept going.
