Pink noise v's White noise: What's the difference?

They sound similar so, what's the difference?

White noise is a purely man mad sound. It was created to cover the whole spectrum of sound frequencies in an equal way and this is why it so effectively blocks out background noises. This is the only function white noise performs. Being man made the brain finds it difficult to decipher white noise and is constantly working to figure it out, even while we sleep. This impacts are ability to fall into the deepest Slow Wave sleep.

Pink noise is a sound frequency that naturally occurs in nature. It is the sound you hear in waterfalls, thunder, and heavy rain. It is a deeper sound. It doesn't block out all background sounds as effectively but it does block most of them. What pink noise does so effectively is relax and calm the mind. Pink noise actually helps us sleep. Not only that but it helps the brain go into the most important Slow Wave sleep. In a recent study pink noise was proven to actually help improve memory and focus because it helped us reach Slow Wave sleep.
