You do know that white noise can be generated really easily, right?

Tap on white noise app, press play.

You don't have to worry about having downloading the track so it's available when you hop on a plane, or having internet, or using mobile data.

Plus, most white apps have an equalizer to tailor the spectrum and several noise generators. You might like brown noise more in certain situations.

i do know that. I was responding to OP as to why people stream white noise, instead of downloading it.

I have a toddler, I'm well aware of white noise apps.

I'm still explaining why it's logical for people who think of white noise as audio to seek it in their music streaming app rather than getting Yet Another Single Use App, or dealing with downloads.
