The green noise (which some call "the background noise of the world") in this video has been specially rendered in 8D. If you listen with headphones, you will hear it start in front of you, make a full clockwise rotation around you over the next 30 seconds, then turn around and make a full counterclockwise rotation around you over the next 30 seconds, then turn around and do it over all again. It can help you relax and get some sleep. It may also alleviate the effects of tinnitus and has been reported to have positive effects for people with neurodivergent traits (autism, ADHD, etc.). Enjoy, and rest well.

8D audio works by using a combination of panning and EQ effects which our brains interpret as a 360° spatial soundscape that goes beyond the simple left and right of stereo. It might even sound as though it's coming from inside the listener's head. The result can bring about clarity, pleasing sensations, and more. There hasn't been any notable scientific research proving the benefits of 8D audio thus far and it may end up being no more than a buzzword, but millions of people use it daily and that's got to count for something!

Fun fact: green noise is not an "official" color of noise, so there may be multiple interpretations of how it should sound. I crafted mine using this definition attributed to J. Russell Lemon: "As I remember, it was flat from 500 Hz to about 2 kHz and then rolled off at 9 db/octave. Below 500 Hz it rolled off at 6 db ?? per octave."
