It may also be related to the rushing sounds of the womb, allusions to which are supposed to soothe fussing babies. Next time stick it on speakers for Junior.

Perhaps there is a deeper, neurological, pattern recognition related reason; the brain relaxing into pure white noise wherein there is no risk of stimuli that provoke fight/flight responses?

i've started to carry a recorder around with me all the time and snapshot soundscapes as well as photographs. I'll post more if there are any of great interest.
