There's a sneaky menu bar background noise app already built into MacOS. You can add "Hearing" to the menu bar (or control center) from settings, and then use that to enable "Background Sounds"

I had no idea this existed, thank you!

Is "Dark noise" the equivalent of "Brown noise"?

Yes! It also exists on iOS, where it’s possible to play both brown/white/pink/fire/seaside noise at the same time as other media

iOS and iPadOS also have that under Accessibility-Audio Visual settings.

I really like this. I had a look through the source code as well and it's cool you shared it.

I generally listen to white noise when I am trying to concentrate, but its Dave Clarke's techno/electo podcast, "White Noise"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36FkrrpzFOA

this is pretty cool. some of the lower frequencies make my ears feel weird. I wonder if this could be extended to do binaural beats
