A member asked:

What's better to fall alseep to--white noise or the sound of the ocean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Up to you: They are really the same thing.The ocean is a good example of white noise. It is rhythmic which some people like better. White noise generators produce a constant amount. See which one you like. I like the ocean sound. Mkes me feel like i'm on vacation :).
