Answer 1

The term “white noise” means several different things. The core definition is something close to “unimportant noise without meaning”. Listening to that can be helpful for focus because it gives your mind a point to ground against rather than listening out for minute sounds in silence and your conscious mind can think clearly.

The term also refers to certain sources of such semi random noise, like static.
