New York Times on the "cult of brown noise" aficionados

I’ve used white and pink noise before but I’ve never used other “colors” of noise (or even know what they mean by “colors” of noise). I couldn’t read the article, so figured it was worth hitting youtube. I played the first sample I found and was immediately hit with this strange, relatively mild anxiety and a sort of low-grade smothering panic. I’m not claustrophobic but it struck me as something that might feel like claustrophobia. Very strange and visceral. I want to run away from it.
