I HAVE to have a fan noise.
I have a white noise machine. I prefer it, but I don't require it. I started using it because my roommate got a job where he has to get up at 5 A.M. Every weekday. The white noise machine seems to prevent me from waking up because of any noise he might make getting ready to leave.
I want it quiet
I can't get to sleep if it's too quiet so I run the fan, air conditioner and the television.
No, I don't need any noise to fall asleep.
I put the ac on in my room.
Me i can take or leave it the white noise or sound noise to sleep at night it makes no difference to me.
