Green noise

Green noise is the middle of the sound spectrum, centred near 500 Hz: fuller than white noise, without the deep rumble of brown. Press play, and blend in rain or leaves if you like.

Unlike white, pink and brown, green noise has no single scientific definition. Ours is pink noise with the deep lows and high hiss rolled off and the middle lifted.

An informal name for noise concentrated in the middle of the audible range, around 500 Hz. People say it sounds like a waterfall or wind in trees. Source: Wikipedia: Colors of noise.
Is green noise a real thing?

How is it different from pink noise?
Pink noise covers the whole range, from deep lows to high hiss. Green noise trims both ends and keeps the middle.

Yes, for now everything is free, the real recordings included. There is nothing to sign up for, nothing to install and no ads. Later some real recordings may move to a paid option; the sounds made in your browser will stay free.
