In this case, I have something playing on my tablet (earphones) while I'm reading my eReader. That something is "brown noise". I use it to drown out the shrieking teenie boppers, and it works wonderfully for that. Until I went looking for "drown out those annoying brats" sounds, I had no idea there was such a thing as brown noise. I knew about white noise, but that's too harsh for me. There is also pink noise which I found annoying as well. But brown noise is just right...

Example of "smoothed" brown noise (I like this better than regular brown noise, but haven't tried it vs. the teenie boppers yet):

Thanks for the links! I too like brown noise over white or pink, though I will take pink any day over white! "They" say brown is closer to the sound of surf whereas pink is more like a fan. I have no idea if this is true or not, but I do know I love the sound of the beach!!
