What are the benefits of water noise?

Water sounds, such as a gurgling stream or a steady waterfall, tended to be the most effective in improving positive affect (the psychological term for a more positive attitude or disposition and the experience of joy and interest), while bird calls were best for relieving stress. This study (like a new study from Buxton’s group) shows that you don’t have to go on a camping trip or even a hike to reap the benefits of nature. Even a short break filled with natural sounds and sights can be refreshing for the brain. You can also use these sounds of running water to block out loud music from outside that disturbs your sleep.
