What are the most unconventional sources of white noise you use? (lemmy.ml)

I have started listening to random American city council meetings lately for white noise. Since they're all bureaucratic-flavored boredom anyway.

Either SoX running in Termux on my phone with:

play -n synth brownnoise synth pinknoise mix synth 0 0 0 10 10 40 trapezium amod 0.1 30

(originally yoinked from I can't remember who, in the early days of Mastodon)

or more recently, a 10-hour loop of the Sardukar chant from Dune. It's right about the right frequency to block a lot of the noise around here and it isn't anything intelligible for my brain to keep me awake thinking about.

If I just want some noise-blocking sound while I'm trying to code or something then myNoise has a vast array of sound generators. It was well worth kicking them $5 a while back.
