White noise

Has anyone ever told you that it is easier for them to fall asleep when listening to sounds of rain? Well, it is scientifically approved that listening to repeating sounds brings on favorable atmosphere. But what caught my attention is a thing called "white noise", it was made in 100% by the computers.

First things first, white noise is a sound, whose task is to drown out background sounds. More professionally described, it is a noise which has constant amplitude during the audible frequency range. If you are curious about its sound, just open the link that I used as my source, it is a 10 second audio. It resembles a TV or radio sough. One of the neuroscientist proved that even when we're asleep we hear sound, due to this, people who have problems with interrupting their sleep can solve their problem by playing white noise. That's on account of its masking properties, for example it can jam barking dog.

Is 600£ for a night at the Mandarin Oriental a good value of money?

I think that a night at the Mandarin Oriental is a complete waste of money for ordinary people. When comparing it to other luxurious hotels, it makes no sense to spend 600£ just because of its fame. Of course if you are a millionaire,spending some extra money doesn’t make any difference. However for most of us it would better to invest that money in something else like travelling or education. A stay in this luxurious hotel is a great deal only for wealthy people.

Facts about music part 1

Have you ever felt shivers when listening to your favourite song? If you are wondering, why they happen then keep on reading. The first thing as I mentioned before are those strange chills you get. They are actually caused by dopamine release, what it means is that your brain can be easily manipulated by different sounds, which to me sounds crazy. Next, the author of the text mentioned about affection of speed and loudness of music on our heartbeat. Surprisingly, the more stimulating music you are listening to e.g. hardcore or rave music the faster your heart beats. Same with listening to more calm music, it automatically calms you down. Some scientist say that music can be as addictive as drugs. If you ever had this strange, unpleasant feeling when you couldn't listen to music, beacause you left your earphones at home, you're probably a "music junkie".
