White noise for babies: Why monotonous sounds help them fall asleep

The sound that gives a feeling of security

In the first few months of life, babies primarily seek one thing: familiarity. Gentle, monotonous sounds – like the rustling of the wind, the hum of a hairdryer, or the steady sound of a heartbeat – remind them of the acoustic world in the womb. These familiar sound patterns have a calming effect, convey security, and help them to settle down.

White noise: Rhythm for the soul

White noise contains all audible frequencies at a consistent volume. It masks disruptive ambient noise and creates a constant, calming atmosphere. Studies show that babies fall asleep faster and sleep more peacefully with white noise. The consistent sound supports the nervous system and can help stabilize sleep cycles – gently, naturally, and without overstimulation.

Used correctly – gently and safely

Correct application is important:

• The volume should be below the volume of a conversation .

• The device or speaker should not be placed directly next to the child's bed , but at a suitable distance.

• Short periods are often sufficient – ​​continuous sound is not necessary.
