How to Block Out a Snoring Partner Without Earplugs
Earplugs simulate deafness, which can be anxious. Sound masking simulates a safe environment. Here is why sound is the better solution.
Snoring is one of the leading causes of "sleep divorce." The problem isn't just the volume; it's the irregularity. A rhythmic fan is easy to sleep through, but a snore that starts, stops, and changes pitch keeps your brain's "alert system" active.
Why Static Fan Sounds Fail
Many people try a simple fan app. The issue? A fan has a constant frequency. A snore is dynamic—it has low rumbles and high gasps. The snore easily "pokes through" the fan sound because the frequencies don't match.
The Solution: Dynamic Frequency Masking
To effectively mask a snore, you need a soundscape that is as complex as the snore itself.
Trick 1: The "Wall of Sound"
Don't use just one sound. Use Sleep Orbit to layer a Brown Noise (for the low rumbles) with a Stream/Water sound (for the high gasps). This creates a full-spectrum wall that leaves no "gap" for the snore to penetrate.
Trick 2: Positioning
This is critical. With Sleep Orbit, you can position the masking sound between you and your partner in the virtual 3D space.
Tip: If your partner is on your left, drag the heavy rain sound to the left side of your head in the app. This creates a specific "sound barrier" exactly where you need it.
Recommended "Snore Blocker" Mix
- Dishwasher (Thick, mid-range noise)
- Thunder Rumble (Deep bass to cover faint snores)
- Heavy Rain (High frequency scatter)
Combine these in Sleep Orbit to create a dense, soothing shield that lets you sleep in the same bed again.
