Hey, and welcome to the short stuff. I'm Josh Clark, and this is Charles W. Chuck Bryant, and Jerry's there. She doesn't have a sound associated with her because she's already listening to sound, and this is short stuff.

Yeah, we're doing one on the different color noises, you know, white noise, brown noise, pink noise. And Jerry literally just said, hey, I'm listening to brown noise right now, which I've never heard of anyone just listening to noise unless they were trying to sleep or, you know, at a place where they were trying to block out other noise.

But I think Jerry just said it like helped her relax or something or concentrate.

Focus, I think she said.

60.819 - 64.282 Chuck

Yeah. Kind of the same thing I said, but with a different word.

64.662 - 77.432 Josh

I used to try it, too, during work. It is supposed to help you focus and at the very least drown out other noises. But it just didn't take with me, at least at first, at least for working.

77.973 - 79.654 Chuck

You do like ambient music now, don't you?

79.814 - 85.639 Josh

Yes. But I get it for sleep, for sure, which is what most people use it for. Jerry's an odd duck.
