They say that in Calgary if you do not like the weather outside your door, look out your back door. Well, it was one of those days fall dynamics.

I was on my front porch, soaking up the golden beauty of poplars around our house and enjoy the cool fall air. The sky outside my house was a mixture of cumulus clouds and a little blue. But a closer look at the clouds showed how quickly they moved. I did not know that the weather service had predicted gusts of up to 100 kilometers per hour for that day.

Suddenly a blast of wind sends each leaf fall at the hearing in clouds motion. If I had looked through the back door, I would have seen the storm. Leaves filled the air making every wind movements visible, whirlpools, eddies, upwelling, and flow downstream. It was an incredible sight.

Even more surprising was the sound. If the leaves can sound like thunder, this would have been it. The muffled sound of leaves any wind noise. I stood on the porch spellbound.

Shuffling through fallen leaves on the sidewalk or patio in the fall has always been one of my favorite things. I love the sound! For me, the best part of the experience. I have not met anyone who did not liked the sound of shuffling through the fallen leaves or that has fond memories of jumping in a big pile of leaves as a child.

When I thought the sound of these leaves after the storm reminded me of white noise. White Noise is like Shhhhhh "you hear when you tune your radio between stations. Technically, it represents all frequencies, or a wide frequency band sounded like together. Can also be a background noise that is ignored, as a fan.

The brain has a repetitive response to noise in the background called habituation hearing. You may have heard or know people who live near railroad tracks or a road busy, no longer has the sound of trains or cars. The noise does not bother them. Through habituation auditory brain also records no longer sound as important or creates an emotional response to noise.

The white noise in the background can help mask distracting sounds that do not want to hear. For example, If you're in a hotel and voices from the next room that is troubling, turning on a fan or playing a CD with recorded white noise can be useful in blocking sound. If you work in a busy office with cubicles and is distracted by the noise it makes difficult to focus on his work, a fan or white noise recorded may be useful to block the sounds. If you live by the railroad tracks or a busy road and the sound bothers you, the white noise can help mask the sounds. The white noise can also be useful for those suffering from insomnia, tinnitus or ringing in the ears. If you are working with your doctor or audiologist for treatment of these conditions, you can ask him or her about the possibility of treating white noise.

The sounds of nature, similar to white noise, also may be useful to mask distracting sounds. Would you like to sit on the beach and listening to the waves? The sound of the waves, a stream, waterfall, rain, rustling the leaves are examples of the version of the nature of white noise.

I hope you find a moment to playfully shuffle through the leaves of this fall. Maybe we'll meet as zigzag along the sidewalk, dragging his feet happy.
