“…Rosalez et al. 39 examined if white noise used in the classroom and/or at home at night, improves off-task behaviour of children with ADHD. During the baseline conditions, time in off-task behaviours was on average 58%.…”

“…The most common form of assessing children's behaviour was via questionnaires/surveys filled out by the child, teacher, and/or parent, used in nine studies, 22,25,26,30,31,35,39,40 followed by observations by the researcher which were conducted in eight of the studies. 23,24,29,33,34,35,39,40 Other methods of data collection included a diary filled out by the parent 39 and interviews with the teacher 34 or child. 41 Outcomes Typically developing children.…”

The aim of this scoping review was to determine what is known from the literature about the effect of different classroom acoustic conditions on different primary school children’s behaviour. A scoping review using the PRISMA-ScR protocol was conducted in March 2022. ERIC, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched using the search term classroom AND (acoustic* OR noise OR reverb*) AND (behav* OR motivat* OR attitude OR persist* OR flexib* OR engage* OR interpersonal). In all, 14 articles were relevant. The populations studied included children who were typically developing, had autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or were deaf or hard of hearing. Several behaviours including learning, externalising and internalising behaviours were investigated. The results suggested that poor classroom acoustic conditions can negatively impact children’s behaviour. However, due to heterogeneity of the methodologies used in this small number of studies, future research is proposed to better understand the relationship.

“…White noise is generated in various forms including the natural or environmental sounds such as rain, wind, car noise, and electronic instrument sound, in daily life, and also, it has a characteristic to be encountered easily and naturally among the various stimulation occurred in the physical environment (Rosalez et al., 2020). Therefore, these characteristics of white noise should be utilized to adequately expose in the process of activities of the elderly with mild dementia.…”

“…Since there is almost no psychological software on the market today that uses alpha brainwave as meditation music, this experiment does not refer to this option but chooses four sounds with a wider audience. Also, although there is little research on the relationship between white noise and meditation, white noise can help deal with sleeping problems quite well [19], which helps to do deeper research on white noise effectiveness.…”

It is worth mentioning that meditation, which acts as emotional therapy, has become popular in human lives nowadays. Some psychology-related software provides users with guided meditation. However, after experiencing this, several users cannot detect the effect of meditation on their mood and sleep quality. This study aims to investigate whether different kinds of sounds would affect meditation effectiveness. Specifically, it provides a reference for that software to improve the meditation function. In this context, meditation is defined as a mental exercise that trains attention and awareness. To test the hypothesis that white noise meditation would be the most effective one, while silent meditation is the least effective, an online meditation was carried out among 40 participants. They were divided into four conditions, A for vocal guidance, B for white noise, C for pure music and D for silent condition. Responses were recorded using both pre-questionnaire and post-questionnaire about meditation, then it was analyzed through bar charts. The results and hypothesis deviated insignificantly: Guided meditation is the most effective one in affecting participants' mood and sleep quality, while silent meditation is the least effective one. These results suggested that the meditation software provided do have a positive impact on users' mood calming and sleep quality improvement. By contrast, some participants who did not have meditation experience before this study support that software should also concentrate on white noise meditation.
