![]() Pink noise is a form of white noise with a lower pitch that can filter out higher sounds, often dubbed “ambient noise.” This means it sounds more like “steady rainfall or wind.” It’s considered more soothing than white noise. ![]() Healthline states that white noise “may help you get a better quality night’s sleep by masking environmental or outside noises that are causing disturbed sleep.” It can also help you stay asleep and train your brain to know when to sleep if used regularly. What is the difference between brown noise, white noise and pink noise?Īccording to Sound of Sleep, white noise sounds more like “a radio tuned to an unused frequency.” That’s because white noise has equal intensity across every frequency detectable to the human ear. People on TikTok have discovered brown noise’s mind-clearing effects, and the hashtag #brownnoise currently has 77.4 million views. Brown noise (and the similar pink noise) is a different sonic hue, meaning it will sound, feel and have slightly different effects than white noise. It’s a popular option for sound machines, and many parents have tried to use a vacuum (white noise) to get their fussy infants to sleep. Touted as a way to get better sleep, white noise masks other disruptive sounds. It is therefore important to inform patients with mild CLS that these clicking sounds are harmless and to advise CLS patients suffering from pain of the appropriate treatment options.TikTokers are so over white noise. The treatment of choice seems to be resection of the structures associated with the clicking noise by thyroplastic surgery or reduction of the hyoid bone greater horn. The causes of the associated pain remain unclear. Seldom do patients report a former laryngeal trauma. The literature published on CLS suggests (although does not strictly prove) that laryngeal clicking sounds are caused by friction between the superior cornu or the top edge of the thyroid cartilage and the hyoid, or alternatively due to contact of these structure with the cervical spine. Three patients have recently presented with such symptoms at our department. In forums patients reported many different types of laryngeal clicking sounds, which were often described as extremely irritating. These sounds were typically provoked by movements of the head and/or neck, swallowing or circumlaryngeal manipulation. ![]() ![]() Three case reports are also presented (multiple-case report).Ī total of 4 studies were identified in which different kinds of clicking sounds in the larynx were described. The Google search resulted in the identification of several patient forums. Therefore, this article reviews the international literature on CLS and also presents three case reports.Ī selective literature search using PubMed and Google was conducted. Up until now, the so-called clicking larynx syndrome (CLS) has not been defined in German teaching literature. ![]() The combination of a clicking larynx and pain may severely reduce an individual's quality of life. However, these clicks are not usually associated with pain and physicians are not consulted. A clicking noise in the larynx can probably be provoked in many adults. ![]()
