White Noise

There has been a lot written about white noise. Well, according to many articles, I hear white noise all the time. According to Mommy and Me, or whatever all those hokey magazines are called that tell parents what they should know and what expensive pastel do-dad they need, white noise is background noise, such as from a vacuum cleaner or a nature sounds machine. Well, as with most things they write about in those magazines, they are only half right at best. Yes, I experience a lot of unspecified noises here in the womb. From heartbeats, mine and mother's, to muffled outside sounds etc, etc, etc. However, these are not "white noise", they are background noise. White noise is the sound of the universe being created 13 billion years ago. Now, that is something I would like to hear. It wouldn't be to hard here in the Marianas, all one has to do is turn on a tv, there is no broadcast tv so all the channels will play a little white noise. But, the question is, why do we babies find white noise so pleasing. Well, maybe it is the sound of creation that we are so used to. Or, maybe it is a faint echo of God! Who knows, but here is a short video to explain a little more about the true meaning of white noise
