Please note that we have renamed the series to “Succeed on YouTube” to cover a wider arrange of articles, including tips for growing your subscribers and improving your channel’s video SEO.

Getting back to the noise videos. First of all, let’s see if there’s any demand for that type of content on YouTube.

What is color noise?

“Color noise” is an umbrella term for different types of noise like white noise, pink noise, brown noise, and similar.

These various types of noise characterized by their frequency distribution, ranging from white noise (equal intensity across all frequencies) to black noise (dominated by silence or near-zero frequencies).

The “colors” of noise are based on their spectral density with each type of noise serving unique purposes.

Are color noise videos popular?

Based on search data, most people tend to look for specific types of noise, such as white noise, brown noise, or pink noise, rather than the broad “color noise” term.

Clearly the viewers have a focused interest in using a particular type of noise, often for specific purposes like sleep improvement, relaxation, or sound masking.

Thus, let’s estimate the popularity of a specific noise type like “white noise” rather than a generic “color noise” term.

Luckily YouTube provides us with the tools we need to see the demand for specific topics and keywords under the “Trends” tab in channel analytics.

Let’s see if there’s much interest in “white noise” on YouTube:

As you can see, there’s a high volume of interest related to the “white noise” keyword.

Interestingly, people also look for combination of white noise with other types of sound effects, as well as nature noises like the sounds of rain and wind.

How to make good color noise videos?

A typical YouTube white noise (or any color noise) video has these two essential elements:

1. Appealing footage (typically relaxing abstract or nature video background or looping animation).

2. High quality white noise soundtrack (we recommend using pro quality 24 Bit / 48 kHz sounds).

Getting the footage is relatively easy. There are plenty of sites and video editing apps to download free stock videos.

Getting the high quality audio can get a bit more tricky. Fortunately, we have all sorts of color noises available in the professional 24 Bit / 48 khz WAV format.

Here are some examples of noise sounds available to use in videos:

8 tips for succeeding on YouTube with color noise videos

Here are some simple tips how to make your noise videos even better:

1. use high-quality audio

Remember, the sound is the most important part here. Make sure the white noise is crisp, consistent, and free of interruptions or artifacts.

2. use appealing visuals

Pair the audio with calming visuals such as soft gradients, nature scenes, or minimalistic animations.

3. opt for long duration

Create videos that are at least 8–10 hours long to cater to users seeking continuous noise for sleep, study, or relaxation.

We have plenty of 1 hour long relaxation sounds to choose from.

4. don’t skip on SEO optimization

Use relevant keywords in the title, description, and tags (e.g., “White Noise for Sleep,” “Relaxing Background Noise”).

5. pay attention to the thumbnail

6. focus on specific niches

Target specific audiences by creating variations, such as white noise for babies, studying, or meditation.

7. upload new videos consistently

Regularly upload variations (e.g., white noise with rain or fan sounds) to build a loyal audience interested in calming sounds.

8. actively engage with your audience

Encourage viewers to comment on how they use the video and adapt based on the feedback.

Don’t forget to add the proper metadata to your video

Creating the video is only a part of the process. You also want people to find it on YouTube!

Write compelling titles, descriptions, and add relevant hashtags.

Include keywords related to the benefits of the noise sound feature in your video.
