I remember my old psychiatrist had something like this and it worked great in an even more pin-droppy ambient environment.

Recommendations A-dwellers?

I'd personally recommend an air purifier as it'll also clean the air that comes in as you enter.

Saying this as a person from BC with its yearly fires :(

This is the correct answer. If you are going to run an appliance 12 + hours a day.....have it clean the air while making a nice low static noise.

Just go to your local store with a baby section. Get a fan based white noise machine, not a digital one. This way the noise is truly random and your brain won't be bothered by sound loops.

Silly me, I've just been using an actual fan all these years.

The dedicates baby ones are frequently adjustable and do a better job blocking sound at a doorway in my experience.
