I am trying to Quit my “Listening addiction”(e.g podcasts, YouTube vids, Creepypasta). It started when my family moved away and I was alone in a really big house for a couple of months, so I would have Earphones on with something turned on, at all times. Now its become such I a problem that I can’t get anything done without something blaring in my ear at all time(never mind what this well do to my hearing in the long run)
Most task, like cleaning or grocery shopping dont need my focus, but then there is studying and work.
I know that, really, I would eventually have to give up my earphones at some point, but I wanted to start by replacing what listened to, with white Noise or brown noise
For example
Most of the searches for background noise on YouTube, bring up rain sounds and I just dont like the sound. Actual rain droplets make my skin crawl. Anyone got other recommendations?
P.S: I did delete my YouTube and podcast apps, so I can only listen to them on the Computer. I can listen to white noise from the mobile browser.
I’ve found the “bird feeder”, “backyard for your cat”, “yule log” or “fireplace” searches on youtube result in some sound that isn’t offensive to me and there are videos longer than an entire day for some of them.
I don’t know of any sources other than youtube but perhaps there’s something on soundcloud as well.
